NAME
wmtempmon - Temperature Sensor Monitor wmdockapp
SYNOPSIS
wmtempmon [-hv] [-t temp_device] [-n temp_device_sensor_num]
[-s scrolling] [-display display]
DESCRIPTION
wmtempmon is a wmdockapp which displays the temperature monitored by a
temperature device. In the title you can see the temperature device
name. In the main area you can see the current temperature measured by
the monitored sensor. If the temperature stays below 49 degrees the
color is blue. If the temperature raises above 49 degrees the color
changes to orange. If the temperature raises above 74 degrees the color
changes to red.
If no specific temperature device will be selected at startup, wmtempmon
scans all the hardware sensor devices until a temperature device is
found, and uses that. Multiple instances of wmtempmon can be started to
monitor different temperature devices.
OPTIONS
-h Prints a short listing of the wmtempmon options.
-v Shows version.
-t temp_device
Select which temperature device to use.
-n temp_device_sensor_num
Select which temperature device sensor to use.
-s scrolling

is too long to be displayed in the wmdockapp window, it will be
scrolled by default. The scrolling types are:
-s 0 Disable scrolling. Long temperature device names
will be cut down to 8 characters.
-s 1 LCD scrolling (default). The temperature device
name moves from the left to the right separated by
a space.

EXAMPLES
Monitor the bcmtmon0 temperature device:
$ wmtempmon -t bcmtmon0
Monitor the first temperature device found, and bounce scroll it's name:
$ wmtempmon -s 2

$ wmtempmon -t qctsens0 -n 7
CAVEATS
wmtempmon is only designed to work with the OpenBSD sensor framework.
Using it on other operating systems will require porting to the specific
sensor framework.
