NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     sensorsd.conf - configuration file for sensorsd(8)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     sensorsd.conf

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The sensorsd.conf file is read by sensorsd(8)  to  configure
hardware sensor
  monitoring.   Each  entry represents one sensor and may
specify high
     and low limits.  If the sensor data is out of range  of  the
low and the
     high limits, sensorsd(8)'s alert functionality is triggered.

     sensorsd.conf follows the syntax of configuration  databases
as documented
     in getcap(3).

     Example:

           hw.sensors.0:high=80C
           hw.sensors.1:high=170F
           hw.sensors.2:low=4.8V:high=5.2V
           hw.sensors.3:low=1000:high=8000

     The  values  for temperature sensors can be given in degrees
Celsius or
     Fahrenheit, for voltage sensors in volts, and fan speed sensors take a
     unit-less number representing RPM.
