Lm-sensors-3-6-0

Lm_sensors の概要

The lm_sensors package provides userspace support for the hardware monitoring drivers in the Linux kernel. This is useful for monitoring the temperature of the CPU and adjusting the performance of some hardware (such as cooling fans).

カーネルの設定

The following configuration options attempt to cover the most common hardware monitoring devices in a typical desktop or laptop system. View the help of each (by pressing the H button with the option focused in the make menuconfig) to know if you need it. There are many platform-specific hardware monitoring devices so it's impossible to list the configuration for all of them here. You may investigate the content of /sys/class/hwmon within a mainstream distro running on the system to know which drivers you need.

Recompile your kernel and reboot into the new kernel.

Lm_sensors のインストール

以下のコマンドを実行して Lm_sensors をビルドします。

make PREFIX=/usr        \
     BUILD_STATIC_LIB=0 \
     MANDIR=/usr/share/man

このパッケージにテストスイートはありません。

root ユーザーになって以下を実行します。

make PREFIX=/usr        \
     BUILD_STATIC_LIB=0 \
     MANDIR=/usr/share/man install &&

install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/lm_sensors-3-6-0 &&
cp -rv              README INSTALL doc/* \
                    /usr/share/doc/lm_sensors-3-6-0

コマンド説明

BUILD_STATIC_LIB=0: This parameter disables compiling and installing the static version of libsensors.

PROG_EXTRA=sensord: This parameter enables compiling sensord, a daemon that can monitor your system at regular intervals. Compiling sensord requires RRDtool. Be sure to install RRDtool in /usr by running make prefix=/usr when building it. Otherwise, Lm_sensors will not find it easily.

パッケージ構成

インストールプログラム: fancontrol, isadump, isaset, pwmconfig, sensors, sensors-conf-convert, sensors-detect, and optionally, sensord
インストールライブラリ: libsensors.so
インストールディレクトリ: /etc/sensors.d, /usr/include/sensors, /usr/share/doc/lm_sensors-3-6-0

概略説明

fancontrol

is a shell script for use with lm_sensors. It reads its configuration from a file, then calculates fan speeds from temperatures and sets the corresponding PWM outputs to the computed values

isadump

is a small helper program to examine registers visible through the ISA bus. It is intended to probe any chip that lives on the ISA bus working with an address register and a data register (I2C-like access) or a flat range (of up to 256 bytes)

isaset

is a small helper program to set registers visible through the ISA bus

pwmconfig

tests the pulse width modulation (PWM) outputs of sensors and configures fancontrol

sensors

prints the current readings of all sensor chips

sensors-conf-convert

is a Perl script to convert lm-sensors version 2 configuration files to work with version 3

sensors-detect

is a Perl script that will walk you through the process of scanning your system for various hardware monitoring chips (sensors) supported by libsensors, or more generally by the lm_sensors tool suite

sensord

(optional) is a daemon that can be used to periodically log sensor readings

libsensors.so

contains the lm_sensors API functions
