!! Purpose
X Hardware Monitor monitors hardware indicators (sensors) of a running system for temperature, voltage, fan speed etc. with a graphical panel.
The default configuration allows to monitor up to 3 temperatures, 3 fan speeds and 6 voltages.
This tool is more particularly adequate for bi-processor systems, but will also work for mono-processor after disabling the 2nd CPU sensors in the "theme".

!! Why
I needed a tool to monitor all the numerous indicators of my Abit BP6 (a bi-Celeron board) in an eye catch.
I also used it when I replaced this board with a MSI K7D Master (a bi-Athlon).

!! Where
Latest C sources are in this tar-gzip archive: [[(Attach:)hardmon-1.0.tar.gz]].

!!! Requirements
* lmsensors (at run time, ''not'' build time),
* Xlib,
* XPM.

!! The future
* more config files for different motherboards
* implement CPUs and system load indicators, with history graphs
