This hack is based on the original wmsensormon package, version 1.1.3. Luckily, the source code was fairly small and simple (one C file) although some comments wouldn't have hurt.
My modified version works out of the box on an 2.6.6 Linux kernel using
the w83627hf and i2c-isa modules for hardware sensor monitoring, for an EPoX
8RDA3I motherboard. See the download section for my
sensors.conf file. I haven't tried it in any other environment,
but I will welcome reports about it working with another
setup.
This version displays CPU, MOB and SYS temperatures as well as processor
FAN rotation speed and reacts to the -lt, -ls and
-lf options by changing the sensor name to red when the limits
are passed. In addition, I've changed the bottom bar to represent current CPU
percentage out of the -lt limit.
Compile by issuing make under the wmsensormon
directory. You may need to add some -I and -L flags
to the Makefile for your particular setup.
For me it works best when run like this:
wmsensormon -s1 -lf 2850 -lt 50 -ls 24
You can, of course, adjust the limits as you see fit, but only use integer
values. Run wmsensormon without parameters to get help. The
-lf is the lower CPU fan limit, -lt is the upper
CPU and MOB temperature limit, -ls is the upper SYS temperature
limit.
I don't use any of the additional features (logging, safety command, temperature switching) so they are untested. SMP support has been mangled and disabled so it most likely won't work in a multi-processor environment.
I'm not a C guru, I just know enough to hack around a bit. So, please, no support requests or questions about the package or how to make it work. If it works for you, great, if it doesn't, too bad.
