NAME

       sensors - printing sensors information

SYNOPSIS

       sensors [ options ] [ chips ]

DESCRIPTION

       sensors is used to show the current readings of all sensor chips, and to set all limits as specified in the configuration file.

       sensors	knows  about  certain  chips,  and  outputs nicely formatted readings for them; but it can also display the information of unknown
       chips, as long as libsensors knows about them.

OPTIONS

       -c config-file
	      Specify a configuration file. If no file is specified, the name `sensors.conf' is used. If the name does	not  contain  a  directory
	      slash,  or  this parameter is not present, the following path is examined: /etc, /usr/lib/sensors, /usr/local/lib/sensors, /usr/lib,
	      /usr/local/lib, .

       -h     Prints a help text

       -s     Evaluates all `set' statements in the configuration file. You must probably be `root' to do this. If this parameter  is  not  speci-
	      fied, no `set' statement is evaluated.

       -A     Do not show adapter and algorithm for each chipset.

       -u     Treats all chips as unknown ones. Output will be of much lower quality; this option is only added for testing purposes.

       -v     Returns the program version.

       -f     Prints the temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.

FILES

       /etc/sensors.conf
	      The system wide configuration file. See sensors.conf(5) for further details.

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.
