It uses the aticonfig tool from ATI's proprietary driver fglrx. + +This script checks the GPU temperature of ATI based graphics card using the +aticonfig tool from their proprietary driver fglrx. The script is written in +Bash and complies with the Nagios development guidelines. For example it uses +the -w, -c and -v arguments, has some basic sanity checks and has an exit 3 +catch all code. The script should behave like any other Nagios plugin. +It should run under any modern Linux distribution. It has been tested and known +to work under Debian based systems with Nagios 3.x + +HISTORY +This plugin is based on check_temp which I wrote earlier this year. The code is +almost identical to it. Many thanks to Chad Columbus who sent me +bugfixes and corrections for check_temp. Without check_temp their would never +have been check_gputemp. +The plugin were submitted to Nagios Exchange in january 2012. +
