TempI Indicator

Author: Ian Caio

Description

A CPU temperature indicator for Unity (tested on Ubuntu 16.04). Uses the output of sensors version 3.4.0 (libsensors version 3.4.0) to gather information. To download sensors on Ubuntu, just run sudo apt-get install lm-sensors.

Configuration file

There are 3 parameters that can be configured in the TempI.config file:

• DELAY: Indicates the delay between each call to the 'sensors' application.
• LOG: Indicates wheter the user wants to log the temperatures in a file.
• LOGFILE: Indicates the logfile name, in case LOG is true.

The values for each of those parameters must be written strictly like described below:

• DELAY=<number>
• LOG=TRUE/FALSE
• LOGFILE=<name-of-logfile>

Any line that doesn't follow the above sintax will be ignored. The <number> on DELAY must be in the range from 2-5 seconds or will be defaulted to 2. If the string after "LOG=" is anything other than TRUE or FALSE, it will be defaulted to FALSE.

How-to use

• Set the configurations in the ./bin/Config/TempI.config file.
• Run ./bin/TempI & from the project folder to start the program in the background.
• If you're running the debug version it's recommended to run it on foregroun in the shell to be able to read the debugging output.
• The logfile will be written in the current folder from the shell calling the program.
• Click on the grey icon on the panel and then on "Quit" to leave the program.

Requirements

• lm-sensors
