Hey,

Do you mean you want to run a script on any computer and get this
information back? I wrote something very simple to do this on my
laptop (to show temperature, current CPU speed, memory usage etc
through root-tail) that just parsed /proc/ files. For the fan
count/speed and temperature check out /proc/acpi/ (if you can't find
what you want make sure you have the ACPI kernel modules.)
