[SOLVED] sensors or lm_sensors?

My sensors won't initialize at boot time. When I ran "sudo sensors-detect" this was included in the output:

Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/lm_sensors
for initialization at boot time.

I can't find prog/init/lm_sensors.init and its /etc/rc.d/sensors not /etc/rc.d/lm_sensors.

sudo /etc/rc.d/sensors start

works.

From rc.conf:

DAEMONS=(dbus hal syslog-ng sensord !network !dhcdbd !networkmanager @alsa @wicd)

From /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors:

HWMON_MODULES="coretemp w83627hf"

# For compatibility reasons, modules are also listed individually as variables
#    MODULE_0, MODULE_1, MODULE_2, etc.
# You should use BUS_MODULES and HWMON_MODULES instead if possible.

MODULE_0=coretemp
MODULE_1=w83627hf

You need "sensors" in the daemons. Not "sensord".
Afaik it runs the same script. (/etc/rc.d/sensors)

Thanks MadCatMk2, that worked.

Re: [SOLVED] sensors or lm_sensors?

I've just a question regarding the sensors daemon, I've put it as advised in my rc.d (back-grounded), but I don't see any related process in the process tree (with ps -el), nor when I start it manually (with /etc/rc.d/sensors).

Is it really needed ? And if so do you know the name of the process ?

Thank you and good night.

No problems, it's just that for once I found the topics to be closely related.
