I think it would be good to have some kind of standard way to access
this kind of devices. This should also include watchdogs.

If they use the same input/ouput via proc it is much easier to use this
information with mon and/or linux-ha.

Something which simple to parse like:

/proc/monitor/lm78:
Sensor-1-Temp 50 C
Sensor-1-Fan 4000 RPM
core 2.8 V
cpu 3.5 V

btw: does anybody know what kind of monitor/watchdog the Dell PowerEdge
Servers (epspecially the low end ones 2200/2300) use ?
