Here's an ugly one-liner for a cron job:

TEMP=$(sensors -f | grep -m 1 F); TEMP=$(echo $TEMP | sed
's/[^[:digit:]]//g'); if [ "$TEMP" -ge 160 ]; then echo 'TOO HOT' |
mail root -s 'TOO HOT'; fi

Of course, you could beautify it and put it into a script too. I'm
sure plenty of pluggers would be able to give you a much prettier
script too. This was just a quick and dirty one off the top of my
head.
