alternatives to lm_sensors
I'm trying to use lm_sensors on a new motherboard with little success. I think it is because the hardware is too new (Asus Commando), which means I may be out of luck for a while. However, I was wondering if anyone could recommend any alternative Linux apps for monitoring temps, fan speeds, and motherboard voltages.
For what it's worth, I can see the following chips on my motherboard, which may (or may not) produce usable data:

I could be wrong but:
I think (virtually) all GUI's and similar tools use LM_sensors as the back-end. I believe it is the 'main' tool for the job with Linux. Have you checked the LM_sensors mailing list and FAQ for details of works in progress regarding your sensors and motherboard? The DHG-A device rings a bell for me (I've been working on LM_sensor configuration for a few days straight now) but I can't recall right off if it's supported fully or not. If you have the necessary kernel support enabled for your board's sensors, you could write a program or script or cron-job to 'cat' the /proc directories where the sensors readings are stored; pretty clumsy, but if you just wanted to check the values on occasion, it should work. Another Linux tool is called RT_sensors, but again, it uses LM_sensors as a back-end. Have you run the sensors-detect script to check for the status/existence/detection of the sensors you have? |

Oh, well, I guess I just need to stick it out on the lm_sensors mailing list. :) Thanks for the help! |
