wmalms monitors  data obtained from a sensor chip: temperature, fan speed, voltage.

wmalms is designed to suit any hardware supported by lm_sensors. It provides a wide range of customized features, including window appearance,  order and representation of sensor data, refresh frequency, alarm mode, etc.

See  wmalms online manual  (included with any wmalms distribution)  for more information, installation hints, etc.
