Thank you for the suggestion, Guenter. Unfortunately, I think I lack the imagination to turn this output into something useful. For example, consider below, the Cores are still numbers 0, 1, 9, 10 for the "coretemp-isa-0000" sensor and the same for the "coretemp-isa-0004" sensor. How can I renumber them so that: coretemp-isa-0000 Core 0 --> Core 0 Core1 --> Core 1 Core 9 --> Core 2 Core 10 --> Core 3 coretemp-isa-0004 Core 0 --> Core 4 Core1 --> Core 5 Core 9 --> Core 6 Core 10 --> Core 7 Does my question make sense? Thanks again! $ sensors -u coretemp-isa-0000 coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: temp2_input: 61.000 temp2_max: 85.000 temp2_crit: 95.000 temp2_crit_alarm: 0.000 Core 1: temp3_input: 61.000 temp3_max: 85.000 temp3_crit: 95.000 temp3_crit_alarm: 0.000 Core 9: temp11_input: 62.000 temp11_max: 85.000 temp11_crit: 95.000 Core 10: temp12_input: 63.000 temp12_max: 85.000 temp12_crit: 95.000 $ sensors -u coretemp-isa-0004 coretemp-isa-0004 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: temp2_input: 53.000 temp2_max: 85.000 temp2_crit: 95.000 temp2_crit_alarm: 0.000 Core 1: temp3_input: 54.000 temp3_max: 85.000 temp3_crit: 95.000 temp3_crit_alarm: 0.000 Core 9: temp11_input: 59.000 temp11_max: 85.000 temp11_crit: 95.000 Core 10: temp12_input: 59.000 temp12_max: 85.000 temp12_crit: 95.000 ________________________________ From: Guenter Roeck <guenter.roeck@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Audio Phile <da_audiophile@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: "lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2011 10:51 AM Subject: Re: adjusting /etc/sensors.conf for a dual processor machine On Sat, Sep 24, 2011 at 08:27:30AM -0400, Audio Phile wrote: > I'd like to get my cores from the sensors output to be consistently numbered > (i.e. core0-core7) for a dual xeon motherboard (HP Z600 workstation).

First use "sensors -u coretemp-isa-000" and "sensors -u coretemp-isa-004" to get the attribute file names, then add something like the following to /etc/sensors3.conf. chip "coretemp-isa-000" label temp2 mytemp label temp3 yourtemp label temp4 randomtemp Guenter _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
