How to monitor the temperature of a disk with 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"+ like in the following example:
+
+
# hddtemp network daemon switch. If set to true, hddtemp will listen
+# for incoming connections.
+RUN_DAEMON="true"
+
+
+
For Debian/Ubuntu, you can use
+
+
+
+
+
and reply +yes+ when asked whether hddtemp daemon must be
+run during the startup.
