I'd suggest you not use the term "globally" as that implies (to *me* anyway) that it applies to all chips in the system, when in fact it only applies to the chip in which it appears. Rather use something more verbose like "enable beeps for all alarms on this chip" :v) Aurelien Jarno wrote: >Hi all, > >Currently there isn't any documentation on how to enable/disable beeps >globally in lm-sensors, except when looking into the sources. > >I propose to add some comments about that into sensors.conf.
