NAME¶

psensor - Temperature monitoring application

SYNOPSIS¶

psensor [ OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION¶

psensor is a GTK application for monitoring hardware sensors, including temperatures and fan speeds. It displays a curve for each sensor, and uses Desktop Notification to raise an alarm when a temperature is too high. On Ubuntu an Application Indicator is also available, its icon changes when a temperature alert is raised. It can monitor:
* the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using lm-sensors).
* the temperature of the NVidia GPUs (using XNVCtrl).
* the temperature and fan rotation speed of the ATI GPUs.
* the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp).
* the rotation speed of the fans (using lm-sensors).
* the sensors of a remote computer (using psensor-server). Psensor requires lm-sensors to be correctly installed and configured, it can be checked by running the command 'sensors'. If it has never be done, you may need to run the command 'sensors-detect' and follow the instruction. See the manpages of sensors(1) and sensors-detect(8) for more information. To retrieve the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives, the hddtemp daemon must be running. For remote monitoring:
* start psensor-server(1) on the remote computer
* run psensor with '--url' option: 'psensor --url=http://localhost:3131' ATI/AMD GPUs monitoring is available if the library libatiadlxx is present in the directory /usr/lib and psensor has been compiled with the ATI ADL SDK. Log is written to '$HOME/.psensor/log'.
