NAME

       psensor - Temperature monitoring application

SYNOPSIS

       psensor [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       psensor is a GTK application for monitoring hardware sensors, including temperatures and fan speeds.

       It  displays a curve for each sensor, and uses Desktop Notification to raise an alarm when a temperature is too high. On Ubuntu an Applica-
       tion 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'.
