-psensor is a GTK application for monitoring hardware sensors, including temperatures and fan speeds.
-.PP
-
-It displays a curve for each sensor, and uses Desktop Notification to
-raise an alarm when a temperature is too high. On Ubuntu an
-Application Indicator is also available, its icon changes when a
-temperature alert is raised.
-
-It can monitor:
- * the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using lm\-sensors).
- * the temperature of the NVidia GPUs (using XNVCtrl).
- * the temperature and fan rotation speed of the ATI GPUs.
- * the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp).
- * the rotation speed of the fans (using lm\-sensors).
- * the sensors of a remote computer (using psensor\-server).
-
-Psensor requires lm\-sensors to be correctly installed and configured,
-it can be checked by running the command 'sensors'. If it has never be
-done, you may need to run the command 'sensors\-detect' and follow the
-instruction. See the manpages of sensors(1) and sensors\-detect(8) for
-more information.
-
-To retrieve the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives, the hddtemp
-daemon must be running.
-
-For remote monitoring:
- * start psensor\-server(1) on the remote computer
- * run psensor with '\-\-url' option: 'psensor \-\-url=http://localhost:3131'
-
-ATI/AMD GPUs monitoring is available if the library libatiadlxx is
-present in the directory /usr/lib and psensor has been compiled with
-the ATI ADL SDK.
-
-Log is written to '$HOME/.psensor/log'.
