mbmon(1) General Commands Manual mbmon(1)NAME
mbmon - MotherBoard Monitor
SYNOPSIS
mbmon [options] <seconds for sleep> (default 5 sec)
This manual page documents briefly the mbmon command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original pro-
gram does not have a manual page.
Recent motherboards have functionalities to monitor the CPU temperatures and the frequency of CPU cooling fans etc. Although some programs
utilizing these hardware monitoring facilities have been developed for the Microsoft Windows platforms, no programs seem to exist for PC-
UNIX and the X Windows System platforms.
mbmon used at the command line reports the temperatures, voltages and rpm (rounds per minute) of cooling fans. It can also be used remotely
via telnet, thanks to the "-P" option.
OPTIONS -h Show summary of options.
-V, -S, -I, -A
Access method (using "VIA686 HWM directly"|"SMBus"|"ISA I/O port"|"All this methods").
-d Debug mode (any other options except (V|S|I) will be ignored).
-e [0-2]
set extra temperature sensor to temp. Need -A.
-p chip
For probing chips. chip=winbond|wl784|via686|it87|gl52|lm85|lm80|lm90|lm75
-Y For Tyan Tiger MP/MPX motherboard.
-f Display temperature in Fahrenheit.
-c count
Repeat <count> times and exit.
-P port
Run in daemon mode, using given port for clients.
-T|F [1-7]
print Temperature|Fanspeed according to following styles:
style1: data1
style2: data2
style3: data3
style4: data10ata2
style5: data10ata3
style6: data20ata3
style7: data10ata20ata3
-r Print TAG and Value format.
-u Print system uptime.
-t Print present time.
-n, -N print hostname (long|short style).
-i Print integers in the summary (with -T option).

SYNOPSIS
xmbmon [options]
This manual page documents briefly the xmbmon command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original pro-
gram does not have a manual page.
Recent motherboards have functionalities to monitor the CPU temperatures and the frequency of CPU cooling fans etc. Although some programs
utilizing these hardware monitoring facilities have been developed for the Microsoft Windows platforms, no programs seem to exist for PC-
UNIX and the X Windows System platforms.
xmbmon displays the three temperatures and a core voltage as simple curves.
OPTIONS -h Show summary of options.
-g Geometry (Toolkit option), default is "100x140".
-count Counts in an interval, default is "4".
-sec Seconds of an interval, default is "20".
-wsec Total seconds shown, default is "1080" (18 min).
-tmin Min. temperature, default is "10" (Celcius).
-tmax Max. temperature, default is "50" (Celcius).
-vmin Min. voltage, default is "1.8" (volts).
-vmax Max. voltage, default is "2.2" (volts).
-tick Ticks in ordinate, default is 3.
-cltmb, -cltcpu, -cltcs, -clvc
Temp 1-3 + VCore colors, defaults are "blue", "red", "cyan", "green".
-cmtmb, -cmtcpu, -cmtcs
Comments of Temp 1-3, defaults are "MB", "CPU", "chip". Not shown if set to "NOTEMP".
-cmvc Comment of Vcore, default is "Vc".
-fahrn Display Temperature in Fahrenheit, can be "True" or "False", default is "False".
-label, -labelfont, -labelcolor
For showing label. No label if null-string.
-method
Chips access method (V|S|I|A). See mbmon(1).
-probe chip
For probing monitor chips, where chip=winbond|wl784|via686|it87|gl52|lm85|lm80|lm90|lm75.
-TyanTigerMP
For Tyan Tiger MP motherboard.
-debug
To show debug information.
EXEMPLE
