Originally, I was receiving errors on all of the temp#_max_hyst and temp#_crit_hyst (readonly) lines. I can't explain why the temp#_max_hyst lines were generating the errors when attempting to set with sudo, but I'm quite sure they were. In vi, I had line numbers visible (:set nu) and was testing setting the hyst values from within vi (:!sudo sensors -s) and after exiting vi with a simple sudo sensors -s and on both occasions the temp#_max_hyst lines were not being set and were generating the errors. I have done close to 2 gig of updates since that time so maybe one of the updates fixed the sudo behavior. All is well now on openSuSE 11.0 with sensors3 and the f71882fg-* chipset. Although, I still haven't a clue as to what temp3 is for the K9N2 SLI Platinum board. >> 23:42 sq4~> sudo echo -n 50000 > >> /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/temp1_max_hyst >> -bash: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/temp1_max_hyst: Permission denied >> >> $%#@%^@$%$ing sudo!

Not only have you solved the sensors3.conf conundrum, but you've taught this old dog a new BASH trick as well! Seriously, thanks for helping me work through this issue and keep up the great work with sensors. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
