Linux howTo: How to check your Computer's temperature

There are times that you want to check your computer's temperature or server. You can check it with a simple command:

   user@linux$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temparature

   temperature:                  40 C

   user@linux$

Note that this method works only if ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) thermal zones are supported on your computer.
