0.7.0.4 release it is implemented in both psensor ( menu preferences >

-(--sensor-log-file

--sensor-log-file
option). For psensor the log file is

depending on the Psenso
Since the version 1.0.1, Psensor is no more started automaticaly by default.
Open the Preferences
window, select the Startup
tab and switch on
the option Launch on session startup
.
This feature is requiring that the Desktop Environment supports the +XDG +specification.
hddtemp
?Until the release 1.1.2, Psensor is using hddtemp
by default to
+retrieve the temperature of the disks.
If hddtemp
is installed but no disk temperature is reported, check
+that the daemon is running by using for example the command ps
+-eaf|grep hddtemp
.
+It should output something like:
root 1433 1 0 May28 ? 00:00:21 /usr/sbin/hddtemp -d -l 127.0.0.1 -p 7634 -s | /dev/sdb
+Depending on the Linux distribution, the installation of the hddtemp
+package does not enable the hddtemp daemon automaticaly.
In this case, edit the file /etc/default/hddtemp
and set
+RUN_DAEMON
to "true"
. After edition, it should contain the
+following line:
RUN_DAEMON="true"
+For Debian/Ubuntu, you can use at root:
dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp
+and reply yes
when asked whether hddtemp daemon must be
+run during the startup.
Here is a list of few well-known sensors monitoring softwares:
Before v1.1.1, the sensors retrieved from the lm-sensor library can be +ignored directly in the lm-sensor configuration. See the manpage +of sensors.conf(5).
Since v1.1.1, it is possible to hide a sensor, uncheck the setting +Display sensor in the list of sensors in the sensor preferences.
