-Psensor - Temperature Monitoring For Linux
-------------------------------------------
-
-Psensor is a graphical temperature monitor for Linux.
-
-It can monitor:
-
- * the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using
- lm-sensors).
- * the temperature of the NVidia GPUs (using XNVCtrl).
- * the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp).
- * the rotation speed of the fans (using lm-sensors).
- * the temperature of a remote computer.
-
-Alarms using Desktop Notification can be set to each sensor to notify
-high temperatures.
-
-For Ubuntu users, Psensor is providing an Application Indicator to
-alert users when a temperature is too high.
-
-To monitor the temperature of a remote computer:
-
- * start psensor-server on the remote computer. The default port is
- 3131 and can be changed by using the '--port=PORT' command line
- option.
-
- * start psensor with the '--url' option:
- psensor --url=http://hostname:3131
-
-WARNING:
-psensor-server does not provide any way to restrict the connection to
-the HTTP server, worst, no effort has been made against malicious HTTP
-attacks. You should make the psensor-server port available only to a
-network or computer you trust by using the usual network security
-tools of the system (for example, iptables).
