I'm looking for a means of getting the internal temperature of my G5 from the command line. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Is there something included with OS X that will allow this or are there free (as in distributable) existing command line utilities?

I came across this: http://www.bresink.de/osx/DocsHardwareMonitor/commandline.html which is pretty much exactly what I want, however it's not free to redistribute. The version I downloaded isn't all too clear on what it's returning (CPU, HD, etc)

I'm looking to include temperature on my webpage, as well as possibly making a widget out of the temperature results. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
