The simple -thermal relationship between processor and fan has become past for modern -computers. - -As hardware vendors cope with the thermal constraints on their products, more -and more sensors are added, new cooling capabilities are introduced. The -complexity of the thermal relationship can grow exponentially among cooling -devices, zones, sensors, and trip points. They can also change dynamically. - -To expose such relationship to the userspace, Linux generic thermal layer -introduced sysfs entry at /sys/class/thermal with a matrix of symbolic -links, trip point bindings, and device instances. To traverse such -matrix by hand is not a trivial task. Testing is also difficult in that -thermal conditions are often exception cases that hard to reach in -normal operations. - -TMON is conceived as a tool to help visualize, tune, and test the -complex thermal subsystem. - -Files -===== - tmon.c : main function for set up and configurations. - tui.c : handles ncurses based user interface - sysfs.c : access to the generic thermal sysfs - pid.c : a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller - that can be used for thermal relationship training. - -Requirements -============ -Depends on ncurses - -Build -========= -$ make -$ sudo ./tmon -h -Usage: tmon [OPTION...] - -c, --control cooling device in control - -d, --daemon run as daemon, no TUI - -l, --log log data to /var/tmp/tmon.log - -h, --help show this help message - -t, --time-interval set time interval for sampling - -v, --version show version - -g, --debug debug message in syslog - -1.
