The S45-SMS Alarming System

Step 4Software

Software
I use scmxx to access the mobile phone. On my server debian is installed and there is a debian package for scmxx available. People who do not use Debian based servers can find the tool on http://www.hendrik-sattler.de/scmxx/ .
I wrote a simple script (hw-check.pl) to check the temperature of the cpu and the mother board. When one of the parameters goes to ALARM state a sms message is send to my mobile phone.
The sensors package is used to fetch the temperatures. In the tar file you can find a file (sensors-test.txt) that contains the sensor values that I read from my server.
Many of the sensors on the it87-i2c-1-2d adapter seems to be not connected. The voltage values may be useful but I think they are not worth an sms ;-)
I decided to ignore this sensor chip.
The lm90-i2c-1-4c chip shows values that seem to be useful.
I added a picture that shows a temperature alarm that the system generated. I send and received it on the same mobile device.
