thank you.

forget that script. i thought i would expand script with a time stamp
so you can better relate to when things change.

=+=+=+=

#!/bin/sh
#	    fn = log-sensors  v. 2  r. 01
#	  date = 2015-0525-1330
#	author = g e leem - copyleftist g e leem, gnu gpl applies.
#	  path = /home/users/scripts/
##
#	usage:  build a log of sensor readings at 10 minute intervals
#		add a time stamp every hour
##
#	notes:	sleep 600 = 10 minutes delay
#
#		chk-sensors = 6 starts with value of 6 to
#		count down sleep periods of 10 minutes in
#		first loop
#
#		chk-sensors = 7 so that time stamp with have
#		correct value for next loop
#
#		start logging from a terminal with command
#		    log-sensors&
#		to run in background and free terminal

chksensors=6

while true ; do

    sensors >> ~/00-check-sensors

    sleep 600 ## set sleep period to an interval of your choice.

    if $chksensors = 0 ; then

      date >> ~/00-check-sensors

      chksensors=7

    fi

    chksensors=$chksensors - 1

done

=+=+=+=

now, if you are aware of time you are doing whatever, you will be
able to relate to when.

i have been running script to see how it is tracking and i see
changing in cpu and board temps and fans speeds. nothing drastic,
but interesting to see. :-)

most welc. ;-)

if you have not refreshed thermal paste yet, as a bit of curiosity,
run script before and after to also see if there is a change.
