GSENSOR PROJECT:  
	The Gsensor Prject aims to create a Graphical Interface 
	under the X Window System  in order to visualize the 
	speed of fans and the CPU's  temperature, recognized 
	by LM Sensors.

LEGGI IL MANUALE DI INSTALLAZIONE
howto/manuale.html



COMPILING THE SOURCES 
  To buid the graphical interface you'll need Glade, (http://glade.pn.org) 
 without GNOME support. See the Glade Documentation to build. 
 The easy way is (as user): 

 ./autogen.sh	(only the first time)
 make

INSTALLATION 
 
 The installation can be done as root, moving the files lmsens.sh and gsensor 
 in /usr/bin obtaining a system-wide installation. Anyway, the fie lmsens.sh 
 must be in path for every user which want to use gsensor. Installing as root: 

  make install 
  cp lmsens.sh /usr/local/bin 
  chmod a+x /usr/bin/lmsens.sh

INTRODUCTION 
 
    With the binary file is supplied a bash script which must 
 be used to generate the 6 values visualized on the bars. 
  This values can be passed to the program via file, or pipe 
 (more convenient). Output example: 
 
 [roberto@localhost gsensor-0.0.1] ./lmsens.sh 
 +35.0, +36.5, +208.0, 4090, 0, 0

DEPENDECIES 
 
  lmsens.sh needs to call these executables:  apm and sensors. 
  Users which would to use gsensor must have in path these files, 
 and must be (obviously) executables. 
  The APM command is not strictly needed, however without it 
 the visualization of battery state is not possible. 
 
  Every user by default can execute these command, if not, 
 contact the system administrator. 
 
  The script lmsens.sh can be modified for calling the apm and sensor 
 programs resident in a directory which is not in path, modifying 
  the calling: 
 
  apm     -> /usr/local/home/pippo/bin/apm 
  sensors -> /usr/local/home/pippo/bin/sensors 
 
  This script elaborate the output of the command sensors which is 
 contained in lm_utils-2.4.2_2.5.5-3mdk. To satisfy possible 
 dependencies occurred, type in a shell: 

rpm -qi lm_utils-2.4.2_2.5.5-3mdk

Summary     : Utilities for lm_sensors.
Description :
This package contains a collection of user space tools for general SMBus
access and hardware monitoring. SMBus, also known as System Management Bus,
is a protocol for communicating through a I2C ('I squared C') bus. Many modern
mainboards have a System Management Bus. There are a lot of devices which can
be connected to a SMBus; the most notable are modern memory chips with EEPROM
memories and chips for hardware monitoring.
 
Most modern mainboards incorporate some form of hardware monitoring chips.
These chips read things like chip temperatures, fan rotation speeds and
voltage levels. There are quite a few different chips which can be used
by mainboard builders for approximately the same results.
