lm-sensors 3.0.0 init script lm-sensors -- what does it do?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello  :-)

The lm-sensors 3.0.0 init script "lm-sensors" runs only two significant
commands:

sensors -s 
sensors 
 
I understand the "sensors -s" activates any limits created by set statements
in sensors3.conf.  What happens (or could be configured to happen) if a
limit is exceeded?  The sensors.conf man page tells how to configure set
values but not what they do.

Why does the init script run sensors (discarding its output)?  Is this
necessary for initialisation before lmsensors library functions can be used?

In case the answers to these questions depend on hardware and lmsensors
library users, I am particularly interested in the it87 chip and GKrellM.

Best

Charles
