1 This is a list of additional programs, that may or may not be installed by
2 `make install', and that can be found in the `prog' directory of
3 this package.
4
5 These programs are generally small utilities used for debugging,
6 and installation of the lm_sensors package, and for demonstrating
7 the use of the drivers and libraries in this package.
8 For more elaborate programs (for example, GUI sensor displays),
9 see http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/UsefulLinks.
10
11
12 * prog/daemon/healthd.sh (written in bash, not installed)
13   An example of a very simple hardware health monitoring daemon.
14
15 * prog/detect/sensors-detect (written in Perl, installed by 'make install')
16   This program tries to detect the available SMBus adapters and the chips
17   connected to them, as well as Super-I/O and misc chips. It also generates
18   modprobe lines and module options. This program is interactive.
19
20 * prog/dump/isadump (written in C, installed by 'make install')
21   This program dumps the registers of ISA or Super-I/O chips.
22   Usual syntax:
23      isadump 0x295 0x296
24      isadump -k 0x55 0x2e 0x2f
25
26 * prog/hotplug/unhide_ICH_SMBus (shell script, not installed)
27   It unhides the ICH Intel SMBus for 2.6 kernels
28
29 * prog/init/lm_sensors.init (shell script, not installed)
30   A SysV init script to be installed in /etc/rc.d/init.d/
31   It inserts the bus and chip modules.
32
33 * prog/init/sensord.init (shell script, not installed)
34   A SysV init script to be installed in /etc/rc.d/init.d/
35   It inserts the bus and chip modules and starts the sensord daemon.
36
37 * prog/maxilife/sysinfo.sh (written in shell, not installed)
38   Write system information to the HP Maxilife LCD display using writelcd.sh.
39
40 * prog/maxilife/writelcd.sh (written in shell, not installed)
41   Write a string to the HP Maxilife LCD display.
42
43 * prog/pwm/pwmconfig (shell script, installed by 'make install')
44   Formerly pwmtest, tests the pwm (pulse width modulation) outputs of sensors
45   for their effect on the fans and helps to setup the configfile for fancontrol.
46
47 * prog/pwm/fancontrol (shell script, installed by 'make install')
48   Controls fanspeeds responding to changes on temperature sensors.
49   Configuration through pwmconfig.
50
51 * prog/rrd/sens_update_rrd (written in bash, not installed)
52   This script gathers sensors data and adds it to a round robin database
53   (RRD). RRD is then used to display the graphed data in web pages.
54   See prog/rrd/README for more information.
55
56 * prog/sensord/sensord (written in C, installed by `make install-prog-sensord')
57   This daemon can be used to periodically log sensor readings from
58   the sensors hardware to syslog, and to alert (using syslog level ALERT)
59   when a sensor alarm is signalled; for example, if a fan fails, a temperature
60   limit is exceeded, etc.
61
62 * prog/sensors/sensors (written in C, installed by `make install')
63   This pretty-prints the information provided by the modules. It is a normal
64   console application, using stdout. It is essential, because
65   unlike the raw /proc/sys/dev/sensors/*/* files, it takes your configuration
66   file into account.
67
68 * prog/tellerstats/gather.sh, tellerstats.sh (written in bash, not installed)
69   These scripts gather sensors data and graph the data for web pages.
70   See prog/tellerstats/README for more information.
