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