[SOLVED] Trying to get cpu/mobo temps to show in conky

Here's my output of "sensors":

bobby@dabox:~$ sensors

bobby@dabox:~$

Here's what I currently have in conky that isn't showing anything (worked for previous box, this is a new system):

${execi 5 sensors | grep -A 0 'temp1' | cut -c15-16}${color #e8e8e8}C
${color #ffffff}${execi 5 sensors | grep -A 0 'temp2' | cut -c15-16}

TIA

EDIT: Fixed, nevermind

EDIT: Thanks for the reminder Mr. Green, renamed. I fixed it by changing "temp1" and "temp2" from my conky above to "CPU Temp" and "Sys Temp" as shown in the sensors output.

can you edit post to show solved please....

May I ask how you fixed it?

[vEX] · 2008-02-04 10:21:20

That's not really a nice solution, it's pretty hackish seeing that Conky supports both i2c and hwmon.

Sensors output for me is:

$ sensors

For hwmon (which is probably used) check out "/sys/class/hwmon":

/sys/class/hwmon$ ls
hwmon0    hwmon1

$ ls hwmon0/device
broken_parity_status  driver  local_cpus  power            subsystem_vendor

$ ls hwmon1/device

fan2_div    in2_alarm  in7_alarm  pwm1_target       temp1_max_hyst
fan2_input  in2_input  in7_input  pwm1_tolerance   temp1_type
fan2_min    in2_max    in7_max      pwm2           temp2_alarm
fan3_alarm  in2_min    in7_min      pwm2_enable       temp2_input
fan3_div    in3_alarm  in8_alarm  pwm2_min_output  temp2_max
fan3_input  in3_input  in8_input  pwm2_mode       temp2_max_hyst
fan3_min    in3_max    in8_max      pwm2_stop_time   temp2_type
fan5_alarm  in3_min    in8_min      pwm2_target       temp3_alarm
fan5_div    in4_alarm  in9_alarm  pwm2_tolerance   temp3_input
fan5_input  in4_input  in9_input  pwm3           temp3_max
fan5_min    in4_max    in9_max      pwm3_enable       temp3_max_hyst
hwmon        in4_min    in9_min      pwm3_min_output  temp3_type
in0_alarm   in5_alarm  modalias   pwm3_mode       uevent

Now that makes it pretty easy for me to map hwmon1 against the "w83627ehf-isa-0290" output from the 'sensors' script. 'cat' the different temp?_input files and see which matches against what in the 'sensors' output and your almost done. When you know what is what, you just put the following in Conky (I prefer to use the diode in the CPU for CPU temperature):

CPU: ${hwmon 0 temp 1}°C

i2c is the same, but you check "/sys/bus/i2c/devices" instead, and use ${i2c} as specified here: Conky Variables.

I have to agree with [vEX].. conky has an internal call for hwmon which is lighter on resources then using some "exec sensors" hack.. From the Conky Variables page..

exec --- Executes a shell command and displays the output in conky. warning: this takes a lot more resources than other variables!!

colbert · 2008-02-04 20:01:54

Thanks [vEX]!! That is much better, however what would be my motherboard temperature? I have:

bobby@dabox:/sys/class/hwmon$ ls
hwmon0  hwmon1  hwmon2  hwmon3  hwmon4

0 is the CPU, 1-4 are the cores so it works fine but I'd like to get mobo temp too.

Just updating that I got mobo temp by using:

${hwmon 0 temp 2}

Yeah, mapping the output is probably the most "difficult" part since you have to cat a lot of files to see which file corresponds to what part of the 'sensors' output. Glad you got it to work! :-)
