Sorry if this has been around many times before, but I've done quite a bit of reading and searching for some type of human readable guide for setting up the lm_sensors for hardware monitoring. I've dorked around with the stuff in the system here, but after looking at the /etc/sensors.conf, I don't think I want to delve into that and try to pull out the right group of settings. It is definately a bit intimidating. So, is there any other software already written or in use for hardware monitoring that does not require a PhD to set up? The current sensors displays both the ISA and smbus readings, but none are even remotely close. The board uses thermistors for temp, which is mainly what I want to monitor. -- Snowman

[..]Sure: up2date lm_sensors sensors-detect lots of Enter... ... chkconfig --level 2345 lm_sensors on service lm_sensors start sensors That works for me, probably it should work for you too. A good day to everyone, Alex
