This repository contains:

• hwtop - TUI monitor for CPU usage, thermal and fan sensors, and network usage.

• sensord - D-Bus service that broadcasts CPU usage, thermal and fan sensors, and network usage information as a periodic signal. Used by hwtop.

Installation

1. Build and install the sensord and hwtop binaries (to /usr/local/bin) and the sensord systemd service and D-Bus config files:

   sudo make install

2. Create sensord's config file at /etc/sensord/config.toml See the examples under sensord/config-examples/ for reference.

3. Start the sensord service.

   systemd:

   sudo systemctl start sensord
   
   # sudo systemctl enable sensord   # To start it automatically on boot

   openrc:

   sudo rc-service sensord start
   
   # sudo rc-update add sensord default   # To start it automatically on boot

4. Start hwtop in a terminal.

   hwtop
