| 1 | This directory contains files useful for initialization |
|---|
| 2 | scripts, especially for RedHat. |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | There are two choices, lm_sensors.init and sensord.init. |
|---|
| 5 | Use one or the other but not both! |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | ---------------- |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | The script lm_sensors.init is a nice startup/shutdown script. |
|---|
| 10 | On RH and other RH-based systems (MDK, notably) use this sort of startup |
|---|
| 11 | mechanism (i.e. SVR4-based), as opposed to the everything-in-one-script |
|---|
| 12 | (/etc/rc or /etc/rc.local) like the BSD-based systems do. |
|---|
| 13 | The lm_sensors.init file should be copied to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors. |
|---|
| 14 | For more information see the top of the file. |
|---|
| 15 | It requires the /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors file, which identifies |
|---|
| 16 | the correct modules. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | The /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors file is generated by running sensors-detect. |
|---|
| 19 | Once the script is done detecting the hardware monitoring devices, it will |
|---|
| 20 | list all the required modules in that file, so that they can be loaded |
|---|
| 21 | automatically at boot time. |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | ---------------- |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | The script sensord.init also loads the modules, and then |
|---|
| 26 | starts the sensord daemon. See the manual page sensord(8) for |
|---|
| 27 | more information on the daemon. |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | The sensord.init file should be copied to /etc/rc.d/init.d/sensord. |
|---|
| 30 | For more information see the top of the file. |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | To configure this service one should put appropriate "alias i2c-bus-0 xxx" |
|---|
| 33 | and "alias i2c-sensors-chip-0 xxx" in /etc/modules.conf. |
|---|
