How can I view my video card's temperature via SSH?
- by NT3RP
I've finally managed to set up my two ATI Radeon 6950 video cards in my machine, but the cards can get quite hot. Based on the arrangement of my apartment, I want to be able to SSH into the machine an execute a command to find out the temperature. What I have tried so far is this...
export DISPLAY=:0.0
sudo aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature
However, when I do that via SSH, I get the following error:
ERROR - X needs to be running to perform ATI Overdrive(TM) commands
If I turn on X forwarding when I remote into the machine, then it just seems to affect my local machine instead of the remote machine.
Am I doing this correctly? Is there a better way to monitor my video card's temperature?
