πŸ’– XSENSORS πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is xsensors, a lil User Command that shows you your hardware sensor info as a graphical read-out 🫢 like, it's giving "your computer's vibe check, but make it cute and visual" ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

xsensors β€” display hardware sensor information as a graphical read-out πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

xsensors [OPTION]...

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So here's the tea: xsensors lets you view the output from the libsensors library β€” all that hardware health info β€” but in a graphical read-out instead of a sad little wall of text. no cap, it's the same data, just with main character energy πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • -f β€” display all temperatures in Fahrenheit 🌑️ (for my US besties, I see you)
  • -c filename β€” specify the libsensors configuration file πŸ“„
  • -i filename β€” specify the image file to use as the graphical theme πŸ–ΌοΈ (yes, you can theme it, iconic)
  • -t time β€” specify the update interval in seconds ⏱️
  • -v β€” display the version number πŸ”’

πŸ’œ CONFIGURATION πŸ’œ

okay so, for xsensors to actually work, you need the right kernel modules, and the way to find those is to run the sensors-detect command as superuser and follow the on-screen instructions. lowkey important: a reboot may be required πŸ™ˆ

The sensors-detect command is provided by the lm-sensors package. so if you don't have it, that's your missing piece, bestie 🧩


🌈 FILES 🌈

  • /usr/share/pixmaps/xsensors/default.xpm: the default graphical theme 🎨
  • /etc/sensors3.conf: the default configuration file πŸ“
