wmgtemp - Temperature sensor dock app for Window Maker

wmgtemp [options]

wmgtemp is a dock-app for Window Maker that graphically displays the CPU and System temperatures using the lm_sensors package. It was originally intended to work with the VIA686A chipset but also supports some other sensors. It displays the CPU and System temperature values, a scaling graph of temperature history, high-temperature warning lights and temperatures in celcius, fahrenheit or kelvin.

The temperature graph is auto scaling, meaning that if the max or min temperature boundary is crossed the graph will be scaled to display the temperature. A red line marks the upper boundary whereas a blue line indicates the lower boundary. When all the temperatures being displayed are within the boundaries the graph will be scaled back to the preset values for min/max and the boundary indicator lines will be removed.

The high temperature warning lights located on the left of the temperature type indicators show amber or red when the warning or high temperatures are reached respectively. Normal operating temperature is indicated by no light.

-h, --help

display the usage information

-s, --scale=SCALE

show temperatures using SCALE temperature scale. SCALE=celcius, fahrenheit or kelvin.

Default: celcius

-g, --graph=STYLE

display graph as STYLE. STYLE=line or block.

Default: line

-u, --update=SEC

update the display every SEC seconds.

Default: 1

-m, --min=TEMP

set the lower bound of the graph to TEMP degrees celcius.

Default: 20

-M, --max=TEMP

set the upper bound of the graph to TEMP degrees celcius.

Default: 35

-a, --execat=TEMP

execute a command at TEMP degrees celcius.

Default: none

-e, --exec=COMMAND

execute COMMAND when the 'execat' temperature is reached.

Default: none

-t, --swap

swap/transpose temperature values

~/.wmgtemprc User configuration.

The format of this file is:

# wmgtemp example config

graph:line
high:50
warn:45
update:sec
min:25
max:35
execat:80
exec:shutdown -h 10
swap:n

Graph

High Temperature Toggle

You may toggle the displaying of a temperature on the graph by clicking on the corrosponding type. e.g To toggle the display of the CPU temperature click on CPU. The type indicator (CPU or SYS) will disappear and the temperature will not be displayed on the graph, although the temperature value will continue to be displayed.

You may change the scale the temperatures are displayed in by clicking on either of the CPU or SYS scale indicators. The cycle order is C -> K -> F

VIA686A, W83781D, W83627HF, AS99127F, ADM1021

Blank lines in the config file cause a Segmentation Fault.
