By default or only if set in /etc/default/sensord?
It uses by default (it can't run without it), but not for setting
sensors limits.
use the command "sensors -s"? I believe not. Maybe there should be a
central configuration in /etc/default/lm-sensors?
What do you mean exactly? I don't understand what sensord has to do with
sensors -s.
Very much. Until sensors -s was executed, sensord didn't evaluate my
changes in /etc/sensors.conf. I think this should happen automagically.
This is intentional.
sensors -s is ran at boot time, so that the limits in /etc/sensors.conf
are ok for normal use.
If you modify this file, you need to run sensors -s to confirm your
changes. This is necessary because you can make very bad things with the
values from /etc/sensors.conf. Like stopping the fan, or even stopping
the machine if you set up a wrong value for a limit and if you BIOS is
configured to do so.
Bye,
