You might check out Conky. I was using the system monitor that came with Ubuntu, but it was stealing 15% cpu cycles and that was unacceptable. Conky claims it's only using 0.20% cpu when I run it.
I'm not a Linux geek so I haven't been able to configure it beyond the basics, but it's doing what I want (cpu temps and top cpu users). It's supposed to allow you to trigger scripts based on certain events, but I don't have enough experience to get into that.
Nice. I might have to check that out. There doesn't appear to be a rpm for Fedora, but it should be cake to build. I'll just have to make sure I have those libs installed.
[edit]The word should is the proper one. But it's throwing errors during configure. *scratches head*
A fellow student pointed out a tool called GKrellM to me, which is also very nice if one wants a very thorough report and some graphics to go with it- kinda like NHC, really, just a bit more customizable.

I'll let you know how it turns out.[/edit]
