Sensor Sweep (sensor_sweep_applet)

Sensor Sweep is a GNOME panel applet that monitors your computers
sensors through the lm_sensors kernel modules.
Requires:
	GNOME (tested on GNOME Core 1.2.3)
	lm_sensors (http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/)

----------------------------------------------
Configuration
----------------------------------------------
Once you have Sensor Sweep installed you need to configure
the sensors that you wish to monitor. Before you setup Sensor Sweep 
you need to have lm_sensors configured properly. Run the "sensors"
program included with lm_sensors to verify proper operation of lm_sensors.
Sensor Sweep requires three pieces of information to monitor a sensor. It
requires a Display Name, Chip Name and Sensor Name. Most of this information
can be found in the output of the "sensors" program included with lm_sensors.
Here is the output from "sensors" on my system. In some cases the name listed
in the first column is not what lm_sensors uses internally. If it does not
work for you the actual name is defined in the lm_sensors config file
(/etc/sensors.conf).  For example using the output below "+5V" is not a valid
sensor name but "fan1", "fan2" and "temp" are. I had to read the lm_sensors
config file to find out that "+5V" is actually named "in0" on my system. The
lm_sensors config file is usually /etc/sensors.conf.

To add a sensor to Sensor Sweep right click on the applet, click on
"Properties". Press the "Add Sensor" button.
To monitor the temperature using the above output as an example we would
enter in "Temp" as the Display Name, "lm80-i2c-0-28" as the Chip Name and "temp" as the Sensor Name.

More docs to come. Eventually
