Package: sensord (1:2.10.1-3)

hardware sensor information logging daemon

Lm-sensors is a hardware health monitoring package for Linux. It allows you to access information from temperature, voltage, and fan speed sensors. It works with most newer systems.

This package contains a daemon that logs hardware health status to the system log with optional warnings on potential system problems.

You will need lm-sensors and i2c kernel modules to use this package. For 2.4 kernels, this requires either installing prebuild modules or building them using the lm-sensors-source package. For 2.6 kernels, use the modules that are already in the kernel tree.
