RE: lm_sensors was Re: [newbie] Way, way of topic

cool, I'm loading gkrellm now and I'll do it.. but what I am after really is a console tool of some sort that detected alarms and could send an email then shutdown the system if its overheating.. so I guess I'd have to get lm_sensors correct rather then compensating with gkrellm...

John That's great, glad you got it. One thing though, in a lot of cases the devel packages are not needed, unless you do development work on that particular package which by what I see of your posts you might. (run on sentence). Anyway, it works for me without the devel packages so I don't install them just to keep things neat and tidy. Cheers, Now the config, seems there's more to it than meets the eye,this is how it went, [root@localhost root]# sensors-detect This program will help you to determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to snip We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.

Use driver `i2c-viapro' for device 00:11.0: VIA Technologies VT8233 VLink South Bridge Probe succesfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Load `i2c-viapro' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): NO I think I should of said yes here, can I run the prog again. Do you now want to be prompted for non-detectable adapters? (yes/NO): yes Load `i2c-elektor' (say NO if built into your kernel)?

(YES/no): yes Module loaded succesfully. We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. That often includes address 0x69 (clock chip). Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do this. Do you want to scan the ISA bus?
