[Discuss] Thermal monitoring

[richb at pioneer.ci.net (Rich Braun)]

I spoke too soon!  Looks like I do now have sensors working on that Core
I5-760.  Had to invoke "service lm_sensors restart" and now I get the output
below.  Conclusion: try running "sensors-detect" (after installing the sensors
package if not already present).  Then invoke any initialization script found
in /etc/init.d.  (Note: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty or nonexistent on my
machines too.  The data comes from somewhere else--and it's not at all obvious
where.)
