wmtemp

This is dead simple Window Maker app for monitoring CPU and GPU temperature. Based on WMTempMon dockapp, although it was heavily reworked.

Compile

To build the dockapp, you'll need libdockapp it should be available in your package repository. While you have it installed, perform the commands:

$ make
$ sudo make install

Binary will be installed in /usr/local/bin directory.

Configuration

To use the dockapp, you'll need to prepare configuration file, otherwise you'll see 0 values for every core/gpu.

Wmtemp will look for configuration file in home directory. Here is sample content of such file:

$ cat ~/.wmtemp
# wmtemp conf file

cpu1_path = /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp2_input
cpu1_critical = 80
cpu1_warning = 65
cpu2_path = /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp3_input
cpu2_critical = 80
cpu2_warning = 65
cpu3_path = /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp4_input
cpu3_critical = 80
cpu3_warning = 65
cpu4_path = /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp5_input
cpu4_critical = 80
cpu4_warning = 65
gpu_path = /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon1/temp4_input
gpu_critical = 70
gpu_warning = 60

Every core have three options to change:

• [core]_path - path to temperature file to read from. The content of such file contains a number of temperature in mili-Celsius.
• [core]_critical - temperature in °C, on which (and beyond) red color would be used for highlight the entry.
• [core]_warning - temperature in °C, on which (and beyond) orange color would be used for highlight the entry.

In main directory there is a wmtemp_sample file, which can be copied to ~/.wmtemp and tweaked according to the needs and hardware.
