CPU Temperature via Terminal

Enter the following command in your Linux terminal to get the current running temperature of your CPU.

acpi -t

This is a handy command and one that I should be able to put to good use. My desktop is a little bit old and crusty and is forever overheating in the summer. It should be possible to use this command in conjunction with cron to set-up a warning system to let me know when my system is about to go into meltdown.
