.SH NAME
psensor \- Temperature monitoring application
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B psensor
[\fIOPTION\fR]...
.SH DESCRIPTION

.PP
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'.
