Gkrellm's sensor reading code isn't a plugin, it's built into gkrellm. Note that it makes lots of assumptions about the hardware that may not be true. If I try and run it using the SMB interface, it locks the machine up instantly when it hits the second SMB in the system. > > FWIW, if you define WITHOUT_SENSOR when you install gkrellm, it will > > not turn on the SUID bit on the binary. > I've discovered this reading Makefile of port. > Now, without SUID gkrellm does not show sensors states. > This is not a problem for me. I'm running Dual Xeon PIIs. Running gkrellm with the sensor mode enabled and displaying works fine, including what little audio playback I do. However, if I enable a plugin - *any* plugin - the system will freeze up, possibly in as little as 15 minutes, possibly hours later. More plugins seem to make it happen faster. I believe there was a system change that's causing this, but haven't set down to chase down the problem. That I get a hard freeze doesn't help much. Final note: if plugins worked properly, I'd love to do a healthd plugin. Healthd has a number of advantages over the gkrellm code, like working reliably with more hardware, not locking the system up if I use it in SMB mode, being able to get information for both CPUs, being able to monitor more than one system, etc. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
