What is lm_sensors ?

 lm_Sensors is an Opensource Hardware health monitor. Monitor system sensors such as CPU and motherboard temperature.

Installation process

  1. install it through yum

             #yum install lm_sensors

            or you can install it through RPM ( http://fr2.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/redhat/7.3/i386/lm_sensors-2.6.1-1.i386.html )

            # wget http://fr2.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/redhat/7.3/i386/lm_sensors-2.6.1-1.i386.html

            # rpm -Uvh lm_sensors-2.6.1-1.i386.rpm

       2.  Detect the sensors on your mainboard, (run as root)

           # /usr/sbin/sensors-detect

            Accept all the default values.

            At the end it will print out something like:

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modprobe.conf:

#—-cut here—-
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#—-cut here—-

            Add the line, as instructed, to the end of /etc/modprobe.conf file.

      3.  Ignore the other instructions. Now run:
            #service lm_sensors start

         This will start the lm_sensors service.

          Now run:
          #sensors -s
         There should be no output.

         Next run:
         #sensors

         You should see output like this :
