Terminal Tips and Tricks For Mac OS X - Super User

It's not built in but this is the most effective way to get my wife to stop using my laptop to read celebrity news for hours after 4-5 requests to get my macbook back:

echo 'The system is overheating and needs to go to sleep now.' | \ growlnotify -a 'Activity Monitor' 'OVERHEATED'; \ sleep 1; \ say 'Overheated system.'

Since it's almost always around 70c it's believable.

Growl showing an 'Overheated' warning.

This I like.
