NAME
mrtg-sensors - Returns data from lm-sensors SYNOPSIS
mrtg-sensors [-m multiplier] chip label [chip label] DESCRIPTION
mrtg-sensors uses the lm-sensors library to query various system sensors for information such as temperature, fan speed, etc. The output is written in a form useful as input for the mrtg utility. Up to two pairs of chips and labels may be specified. The first is used for the incoming data value in mrtg, while the second is used for the outgoing data value. Of course, they need not correspond to incoming or outgoing data, that is merely what mrtg expects. "chip" is the name of the chip to query, and "label" is the label of the piece of information that should be queried from the given chip. sensors(1) can be used to look up all available chips and labels on your system. Wildcards may be used in chip names, but only the first matching chip will be queried. If you use the special name "dummy" as a chip name, nothing will be queried, and a value of zero will be sent to mrtg. -m is the multiplier to be used in the output. The default multiplier is 1. Note that you may find it more useful to use sensors.conf(5) to set global multipliers for sensors. EXAMPLES
mrtg-sensors dummy dummy adm9240-* fan2 Get the speed of fan #2 from the adm9240 chip. mrtg-sensors -m 0.5 adm9240-* fan1 adm9240-* fan2 Get the speeds of both fan #1 and fan #2, halfing both. mrtg-sensors -m 2 dummy dummy adm9240-* temp Get the cpu termerature, and double it. SEE ALSO

NAME
sensors - print sensors information SYNOPSIS
sensors [ options ] [ chips ] sensors -s [ chips ] sensors --bus-list DESCRIPTION
sensors is used to show the current readings of all sensor chips. sensors -s is used to set all limits as specified in the configuration file. sensors --bus-list is used to generate bus statements suitable for the configuration file. OPTIONS
-c config-file Specify a configuration file. If no file is specified, the libsensors default configuration file is used. Use `-c /dev/null' to tem- porarily disable this default configuration file. -h Print a help text and exit. -s Evaluate all `set' statements in the configuration file and exit. You must be `root' to do this. If this parameter is not specified, no `set' statement is evaluated. -A Do not show the adapter for each chip. -u Raw output. This mode is only meant for debugging. -v Print the program version and exit. -f Print the temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. --bus-list Generate bus statements suitable for using in sensors.conf. Such bus statements are only needed if you have several chips sharing the same address on different buses of the same type. As bus numbers are usually not guaranteed to be stable over reboots, these statements let you refer to each bus by its name rather than numbers. FILES
/etc/sensors3.conf /etc/sensors.conf The system wide configuration file. See sensors.conf(5) for further details. SEE ALSO
