I have had this in the past where either the CPU or PSU fan had died.  I'll 
check both of these next time I'm on site, but I believe the PSU is fairly 
new anyway.

I installed Glance and had a look, but the sensors didn't show, even when I 
pressed 'S' as per the help page.

Also, as this is a headless server, can anyone suggest a non-GUI monitor app?

The lm_sensors package is required for the sensors module of glances to 
work. After installing lm_sensors, run sensors-detect. The sensors 
command will show the sensors detected and their current values. glances 
should then display the sensor readings.

Glances *is* a non-GUI app.

The banner of my blog is a screenshot of Glances in a terminal:

Somewhere tucked in the back of my mind a memory is screaming no. Wasn't
there
a problem with lm_sensors where we were all told to remove / not install it 
because of serious problems with the package possibly even breaking things.

Presumably that's no longer the case
