Sensor Commands

The sensor command reports or sets the value of an environmental sensor or control.

TABLE G-1lists the groups of sensor subcommands.

TABLE G-1Sensor Subcommand Groups

Subcommand Group		Description
sensor	get	Returns all data associated with a sensor.
sensor	set	Sets some of the data associated with a specific sensor or a class of
		sensors.

Note – Every command returns a return code upon completion.

Note – There are some sensors whose value does not change, some that are there to provide information in the event of a problem, and others to facilitate the proper operation of the software.

Many of these sensors do not have a related component (parent) associated with them. For example, the die-temperature sensor for a CPU has the CPU as its parent component, and a fan speed sensor has the fan as its parent component; the product-id sensor, however, only reports a static value and has no parent relationship.

This relationship establishes the component(s) which is affected by changes in the value of the sensor. You cannot modify the thresholds for sensors without a parent relationship since an event will never occur for these threshold crossings.
