You are actually supposed to use sensors.conf to modify what sensors outputs. The label and ignore lines will let you rename labels and suppress irrelevant output lines, repectively. But it won't let you fully change the output. If you really need a completely different output, there are three things you can try: 1* Use another program. Sensors is mostly existing as a sample program to demonstrate how to use libsensors. For a list of known programs, see http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/useful_addresses.html. You may also try searching for "sensors" in Freshmeat. 2* Write your own program. Look at sensors' source code and write some more convenient program. If you use sensors' code, even partly, your new program will obviously have to be GPL. 3* Write a wrapper, that reads the output of sensors, and reformats it as you wish. A programming laguage as Perl would be particularly suited for such a work. As a fourth alternative, you may read the sensors values directly from /proc. Using the library is the recommended way though. Hope it helps. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
