VIII. Sensors Commands

To monitor the operational environment of a SpinServer system, use the sensors commands to display fan and temperature information. The sensors command node includes the following subnode commands:

  • fan

  • power

  • temp

  • ups

Each of the subnode commands and its leaf-node commands is described in detail, with parameters and arguments listed for each command.

All of the subnodes include the show leaf-node command.

Examples of command usage are included in the discussions.
