Activity Monitor showed the iMac was idling at ~6%. The next time it froze, I looked at the Console log on screen and noted nothing usual was happening when it froze. To see what was happening, I turned off the screen saver and energy saver, left the CPU always on, opened the Console log and Activity Monitor window (selected highest CPU usage column), left iTunes running, and waited. I found that this control environment NEVER froze, so I knew I wasn't having a hardware issue, but my migrated account continued to spontaneously freeze periodically. To narrow the field of issues, I built a clean partition with Leopard on the iMac and proceeded to install my old apps and data just to use as a control environment. This makes sure the Screen Display cannot become invisible when its target monitor has been removed.I migrated my old G5 Tower apps/accounts/data to my new 24" 2.8GHz iMac in early November, and had periodic freezes (from 5 minutes to 3 days) that I was having trouble resolving. * The output channel "Screen Display" will no longer try to keep its screen position if the user changes a multi-monitor configuration while the program is not running. hard drive sensors has been added to the command-line version of the program. * By user request, a feature to suppress access to S.M.A.R.T. * The support for hard drive sensors controlled via proprietary drivers of Sonnet and FirmTek has been enhanced. (This has always been the standard on Intel-based computers.) The application will now accept the temperature sensors of unknown SATA drive models. hard drive sensors accessed via SATA interfaces has been enhanced. * On PowerPC hardware, support for S.M.A.R.T. * Added a new driver for monitoring of the internal thermal sensors of Intel processors which is also capable of supporting the 64 bit kernel version of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
It is now possible to connect to whole groups of monitored systems in one step. * Added a feature to let the user define individual sets of remotely monitored computers in a network. * Added a feature to monitor the size of swap space memory which is actually in use. * Added a feature to display the unique identifier (UUID) of a computer. * Added a feature to display 32/64 bit capabilities of the processor and the current mode of the kernel. This new feature supersedes the former features to reset sensor display colors, data acquisition settings and customized labels. * Added a feature to reset different aspects of display preferences for all sensors back to recommended default values. The required minimum OS version is now Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. * Support for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther has been removed. * Sensors for pulse-width controlled fans This includes the following sensor types: The application Hardware Monitor is commercial shareware, but can access additional sensors if your computer is equipped with them. The application Temperature Monitor is available for free, but is limited to accessing temperature sensors only. The program can display and visualize measured values in a large variety of fashions. Hardware Monitor is an application to read out all available hardware sensors in Macintosh computers.
