Description David Kovalsky 2010-07-01 11:56:57 UTC
I installed lm_sensors like I was used to in RHEL5, ran sensors-detect and the found that there is no initscript to load the needed modules. 

sensors-detect says to copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init file <- that's really confusing and should be changed to be more distro-friendly. 

Furthermore, while reading README.initscript - it didn't help me at all how to load the modules. 

I suggest the following changes:
 - if lm_sensors-sensord is not installed with lm_sensors that sensors-detect should point the user that (s)he needs to install the package to get the initscript

 - add a message to sensors-detect pointing user to lm_sensors-sensord package and remove misleading prog/init/lm_sensors.init

 - create a README.redhat with information how lm_sensors are packages. What's in lm_sensors and what in lm_sensors-sensord.
