So tomorrow is college again. Classes started last Monday and I only had to swap one class for the same class but with a new professor and time (Saturdays… bleh!). Either way, should be a good semester and hopefully I have plenty of time get some stuff during the semester, unlike the last 4 or 5. Like on Friday night and tonight, I wrote and finished a bash script that parses and logs (into a MySQL table) sensor information related to temperature of my CPU, system, and my fan speed. Which I think is awesome as it works and is setup to run as a cronjob for every */30 * * * * *. =] It was fun doing some shell programming again, after not doing much So hopefully once I have some data, I can start graphing the information into something neat and possibly useful.
Besides that, spent Saturday at my girlfriend’s parents for her dad’s birthday (he’s only 45.. my mom turns 55 later this year with my dad not too far behind..) and got back at nearly 2am. Was a ton of fun heading out there to see them and pester their kittens/cats. And today my girlfriend and I biked around the city the bit. Went to Pancheros for an awesome burrito, and then to a couple movies afterwards (Airbender /sucks/ and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is pretty awesome throughout [nice visuals, good PoP feel, good stunts, good story surprisingly]). So all in all, fun weekend and… NO TAEKWONDO THIS WEEK!! WOOOOOO! =D
Anywho, back to the grindstone in the morning. Whee..
Any reason you didn’t modify the improved cacti templates to achieve this? Then you’d have the graphing capabilities pretty much ready to go. Awesome script though.
Probably because I didn’t know of cacti well enough, and my aim was to attempt to do MySQL using bash, and just bash. It’s a neat little script that does some cool parsing.. that will probably break in the event you are using a different version of lm_sensors.
Either way, it was fun and gives me tons of neat data. =D
