How to get command output of “nvidia-settings” via command line?

Question

the case at hand:

nvidia-settings -q all | grep 'Attribute.*GPUCoreTemp'

gives:

Attribute 'GPUCoreTemp' (system5:0.0) 58.                              
Attribute 'GPUCoreTemp' (system5:0[gpu:0]): 58.

then I make it:

nvidia-settings -q all | grep 'Attribute.*GPUCoreTemp' |  sed -e 's/.* //'

gives me:

58.

58.

But I only want the first one... How to achieve this?

Pass grep the -m 1 switch, to limit to only one matching output. See man grep.

Use -t query option

$ nvidia-settings -t -q [gpu:0]/GPUCoreTemp
