| Post subject: | customizing "system status" menu |
Does anyone know how to modify the system status menus to include extra info such as CPU temp? I'd like to see this metric since I have an AMD cpu that runs hot (around 45-47c) and I want to keep tabs on that without having to log in with the laptop to check it. I'm running Knoppmyth R5E50 and I already have sensors working to grab the temp. I'd also like to have the box alert me via MythTv if the temp goes above a certain threshold (maybe while I'm watching a show, it would flash an alert as an overlay with the cpu temp warning on the screen). This would probably be a lot harder to do but at the least I can cron a script that would do a shutdown at a certain threshold for safety. Any help would be appreciated! |

In answer to your first part, I didn't modify System Status, not anywhere near that ability yet. What i did was place a link to the Monitors page on the Web portion of the Information screen. Then when the system is running i can just go into my Web links and select that and see all of the items i placed in the monitor web page, items like cpu temp, eth traffic, etc. The seach is our friend: a Link to the Monitors is both here in the Forum at http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=12833 Also that provides a link over to the wiki as well. There are two portions just search for RRD tools or something like that. Here is a link to the Graphs setup. http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=MonitoringGraphsHowto Anyway, once you get it working you can fine tune some of the setups. On the second question, also crude but most AMD motherboards support shutdown at a given temperature. But with enough quiet cooling, I don't see that to be a problem. Regards! |

See the R5E50 upgrade hints stiucky posting for some tips fro getting the RRD that's already installed on the system working. All it takes it a couple minor tweaks. |
