Hi list

Can you please say me what this output exactly mean? Anything in
relation to fans/cooling? What does "active" and "ok" mean?
Which values
are healthy?

# acpi -tBSc
     Thermal 1: active[3], 50.0 degrees C
     Thermal 2: ok, 47.0 degrees C
     Thermal 3: ok, 45.0 degrees C
     Thermal 4: ok, 28.0 degrees C
     Thermal 5: ok, 35.0 degrees C

Didn't found any useful docs about this.

thanks

Simon

You have 5 points, where temperature is measured. Zone 1 can be cooled , and 
cooling policy is "active"
