Reading multiple directories and file from them
Hello
I'm making script for Dallas temperature sensors (DS1820).
When a sensor is connected, it shows up as a directory in /sys/bus/w1/devices
in format 10-xxxxxxx. Inside the directory is a file called w1_slave which holds the temperature in format t=xxxxx.
Each sensor has unique 10-xxxxxxx directory.
I want to make script to go through all 10-xxxxxx folders and read the t=xxxxx from the w1_slave, then save it to file which is named like the directory of the sensor with current date: 10-xxxxxx_date.csv
Also, I use crontab to automatically run the script every 5 minutes, so I need to append new lines to the 10-xxxxxx_date.csv, not replace it!
I know how to read and save the t=xxxxx from w1_slave, but I don't know how to make script automatically go through all 10-xxxxxx folders!
Currently in my script I manually write the sensor's folder and manually write the file where the t=xxxxx is saved.
This is a problem, because what if one of the sensors must be changed or I want to use more or less sensors? I'd have to re-write many lines of the script!
Help is appreciated

psensor
PSENSOR(1) User Commands PSENSOR(1)
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'.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
display this help and exit
-v, --version
display version information and exit
-u, --url=URL
the URL of the psensor-server, example: http://hostname:3131
-d, --debug=LEVEL
set the debug level, integer between 0 and 3
