# sensors-conf-convert(1)

convert sensors.conf from lm-sensors 2 format to lm-sensors 3 format

## NAME

sensors-conf-convert - convert sensors.conf from lm-sensors 2 format to lm-sensors 3 format

## SYNOPSIS

**sensors-conf-convert** *\< /etc/sensors.conf \> /etc/sensors3.conf*

## DESCRIPTION

**sensors-conf-convert** converts a sensors.conf file from the old (Linux 2.4, lm-sensors 2) symbol names to the new (Linux 2.6, lm-sensors 3) symbol names.

Implemented conversions:

- \- The "algorithm name" part of bus statements is removed.

  - \- Bus statements for the ISA bus are removed.

  - \- Chip names containing dashes are removed.

  - \- Label, ignore, set and compute statements referencing features

  which are not part of the new interface are removed.

- \- Label, ignore, set and compute statements referencing features

  which have been renamed are updated. This includes both general feature name changes and chip-specific feature name changes.
