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.
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
+ * start psensor with the '--url' option: psensor
+ --url=http://hostname:3131

Installation
------------
+Psensor can be compiled and installed on any modern linux
+distribution.
+
Debian
------
Debian package information are available at:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/psensor.html
+Compilation requires the following packages:
+
+gettext libgtk-3-dev libgconf2-dev libnotify-dev libsensors4-dev
+help2man libcurl4-openssl-dev libjson0-dev libmicrohttpd-dev
+libgtop2-dev
+
+Debian kfreebsd
+---------------
+
+Compilation requires the following packages:
+gcc libgtk2.0-dev libsensors4-dev libgconf2-dev help2man
+libcurl4-openssl-dev libjson0-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libgtop2-dev
+
Ubuntu
------
-For Ubuntu, the easy way to install Psensor and Psensor-server is to
-use the dedicated PPA.
+Notes about installation on Ubuntu is available at:
+http://wpitchoune.net/blog/psensor/ubuntu-integration
+
+Since Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10), psensor is available in the universe
+repository of Ubuntu.
+
+For other Ubuntu releases, the easy way to install Psensor and
+Psensor-server is to use the dedicated PPA.
For the last stable version:
sudo apt-get apt-add-repository ppa:/jfi/psensor
requires also the installation of psensor-common which contains
the multiple languages support.
+Centos 6
+--------
+
+psensor can be compiled on Centos 6.0, by installing the following
+packages:
+gcc gtk2-devel GConf2-devel help2man gettext-devel libnotify-deval
+lm_sensors-devel libgtop2-devel
+
+As microhttpd and json-c libraries are not available in the standard centos
+repository, psensor-server cannot be compiled and the remote
+monitoring feature of psensor will not be available.
+
+ATI/AMD GPU Support
+-------------------
+
+To compile Psensor with ATI support on Ubuntu:
+
+ * installs the usual Psensor build dependencies and fglrx ubuntu
+ package.
+
+ * downloads the ATI ADL SDK from:
+ http://developer.amd.com/sdks/ADLSDK/Pages/default.aspx and
+ extracts the files of the archive into a directory [dir].
+
+ * configure the build environment:
+ ./configure --with-libatiadl=[dir]
+ where [dir] must be the directory where you have extracted the ATI
+ ADL SDK.
+
+ * then follow usual GNU autotools compilation:
+ make clean all
+ make install
+
Installation from source archive
--------------------------------
make install
* Start the sensor detection script: 'sensors-detect' and follows the
-instructions
+ instructions
* Verify the sensor detection by running: 'sensors'
