Configuration

tmon attempts to create a configuration file at $HOME/.config/tmon.conf the first time it runs.
You can edit this file to tweak several parameters:

• interval: the interval at which tmon refreshes its output, in milliseconds.
• temp_sensor: the target sensor for the temperature bar. Run sensors to see what's available.
• temp_min: minimum value of the temperature bar, in °C.
• temp_max: maximum value of the temperature bar, in °C.

tmon needs to be restarted to reload changes to the config file.

The default settings can be restored by either:

• deleting $HOME/.config/tmon.conf and running tmon again
  or
• copying and pasting default.conf to $HOME/.config/tmon.conf

Troubleshooting

Not seeing a temperature reading? Try running

sudo sensors-detect

You can also change the target sensor by changing the temp_sensor field in the config file.
