Currently I see only one variant — write motherboard name > with «sensors» stdout. "sensors" alone will only give you values for the few hwmon drivers which are auto-loaded. Most are not though, so you'd have to run sensors-detect first, then start the lm_sensors service so that the required drivers are loaded, and only then check the output of "sensors". Unfortunately at the moment sensors-detect is an interactive script. I tried implementing an automatic mode [1] but never got any feedback from it. [1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/lm-sensors/msg37171.html I have rebased my patch, you can download a version of sensors-detect with option --auto at: http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/lm-sensors/sensors-detect Note that this isn't necessarily safe as the internal logic may lead to potentially dangerous probes being attempted. See the WARNING section in sensors-detect(8). This makes me wonder if what you are trying to achieve is really a good idea. Once a year, we have a user complaining that sensors-detect damaged their hardware... Guenter, what do you think? Is this valuable enough and I should commit this, and we can improve it over time? Or just too dangerous and I should delete this patch ASAP and forget about the whole idea forever? -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
