You would only get a message if the fan temp was high when Active Monitor runs 
(at :00, :15, :30, and :45).

I'd bet something in your logcheck.sh is making it choke. If it's overtemping 
that easily, then a fan or some bad memory may be your culprit.

To log the temp, you'd have to run a script that parsed the output of

	cat /proc/cpuinfo

and wrote the temp info to a file or something.
