pi-temp

pi-temp is a BASH script used to shut down a RaspberryPi if the SoC temperature exceeds a user-set level.

Description

As configured, the script will:

• NOT allow the temperature to exceed 60 degrees Celsius
• Check the temperature every five minutes

These values are configurable, but I take no responsibility for the health of your RaspberryPi while using this script.

Installation Steps:

• Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/jj358mhz/pi-temp.git

• Modify it to make it executable

sudo cp tempcheck.sh /usr/local/bin && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/tempcheck.sh

sudo mkdir -p /etc/tempcheck/ && sudo cp tempcheck.conf /etc/tempcheck/

• Modify your crontab (sudo crontab -e) with this line:

*/5 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/tempcheck.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
