README file for wmSensors v1.1.0 (Temperature Sensors Monitoring)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  INSTALLATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REQUIREMENTS
------------
  - Linux kernel 2.x.x
  - Health monitoring hardware


COMPILATION
-----------

The wmSensors is provided in a TAR GZ format. You must use the command 
"tar zxvf wmsensors.tgz" to obtain the source files under the directory 
"wmsensors". To compile go to this directory and enter the followings commands :

make
make install

Your wmSensors application is now compiled and installed.

Build Problems
--------------

You may have trouble linking wmsensors with the compiler supplied on some recent 
distributions (eg. Debian 2.0 & RedHat 5.2).
It can be made to build by adding the following line to the top of the Makefile :

CC = c++

I am not sure of the effect this has on memory usage, etc.

INSTALLATION SUMMARY
--------------------

% tar zxvf wmsensors.tgz
% cd wmsensors
% make
% su root
% make install

Installation fails
------------------

If "make install" fails on your system, please edit the Makefile to set the paths according to your setup. "make install" defaults to /usr/local/bin".

wmSensors : Temperatures and Voltages Monitor
Copyright (c) Berger Laurent <freewares.linux@bigfoot.com> - March/May 1999

Usage :
  -display <DisplayName>    set the display to DisplayName
  -geometry +XPOS+YPOS      initial window position
  -c --cpu                  display the CPU temperature. Default
  -m --mainboard            display the mainboard temperature
  -l --labelcpu             set the label for the temperature to CPU
  -u --update <Delay>       delay between two updates (in seconds).
                            Default = 1 sec
  -f --fahrenheit           display temperature in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius
  -s --state <Screen>       default screen to display :
                              1 : FANs
                              2 : +/- 5V
                              3 : +/- 12V
                              4 : Vcore
                              5 : +3.3V
                              6 : VID
  -p --path <Path>          for use with sensors module version 2.0 or above.
                            use Path as base directory for sensors files
  -h --help                 this help screen
  -v --version              print the version number

To switch from an information monitoring to another in wmSensors program you 
must click inside the program window. By clicking inside the frame displaying 
the CPU or mainboard temperature you change from Celsius to Fahrenheit (or 
Fahrenheit to Celsius). To switch between the CPU and mainboard temperatures you
must click on the frame containing the text CPU or MB (at top left in the 
window).

WMSENSORS AND AFTERSTEP

You can add wmSensors program in the Wharf bar of AfterStep Window Manager by 
adding the following line in your .steprc :

REVISION HISTORY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.1 (24 May 1999)
  - Compatible with lm_sensors v2.0 and above (tested with version 2.3.2).
  - Allows the user to specify the path of the module sensors files (required
    with lm_sensors v2.0 and above).

Version 1.0 (21 April 1999)
  - Based upon Alexander Larsson module called lm_sensors (version 1.4.11 or 
    above). Version 1.4.12 of this module is provided in the package of 
    wmSensors.
  - Displays up to 7 CPUs temperatures (if the sensors are available on the 
    mainboard) and mainboard temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit degres.
  - Displays speed rotation for up to 3 fans.
  - Displays mainboard and CPU voltage (+/-5V, +/-12V, +3.3V, VID and two 
    Vcore).
