Syntax: /usr/bin/sensord {options} {chips}
-i, --interval <time> -- interval between scanning alarms (default 60s)
-l, --log-interval <time> -- interval between logging sensors (default 30m)
-t, --rrd-interval <time> -- interval between updating RRD file (default 5m)
-1, --oneline -- log chip, adapter, and sensor data on one line
-T, --rrd-no-average -- switch RRD in non-average mode
-r, --rrd-file <file> -- RRD file (default <none>)
-c, --config-file <file> -- configuration file
-p, --pid-file <file> -- PID file (default /run/sensord.pid)
-f, --syslog-facility <f> -- syslog facility to use (default local4)
-g, --rrd-cgi <img-dir> -- output an RRD CGI script and exit
-a, --load-average -- include load average in RRD file
-d, --debug -- display some debug information
-v, --version -- display version and exit
-h, --help -- display help and exit
Specify a value of 0 for any interval to disable that operation;
for example, specify --log-interval 0 to only scan for alarms.
Specify the filename `-' to read the config file from stdin.
If no chips are specified, all chip info will be printed.
If unspecified, no RRD (round robin database) is used. If specified and the
file does not exist, it will be created. For RRD updates to be successful,
the RRD file configuration must EXACTLY match the sensors that are used. If
your configuration changes, delete the old RRD file and restart sensord.
