IBM RS/6000 44P - Manual (Page 147)

This service aid can also be run as a command. Use the command to list the sensors
and their values in a text format, list the sensors and their values in numerical format,
or a specific sensor can be queried to return either the sensor status or sensor value.
Run the command by entering one of the following:
Note: These commands work only when the flags are entered one at a time (such as
those shown in Examples 1 and 2)
/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/uesensor -l | -a /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/uesensor -t
token -i index [-v]
Flag Description
-l List the sensors and their values in a text format.
-a List the sensors and their values in a numerical format. For each sensor, the
following numerical values are displayed as:
token index status measuredvalue
location code
-t token
Specifies the sensor token to query.
-i index
Specifies the sensor index to query.
-v Indicates to return the sensor measured value. The sensor status is returned
by default.
Examples
1. Display a list of the environmental sensors:
/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/uesensor -l
This is the results of running the example command only.
Sensor = Fan Speed Status = Normal Value = 2436 RPM Location Code = F1
Sensor = Power Supply Status = Normal Value = Present and operational Location
Code = V1
Sensor = Power Supply Status = Critical low Value = Present and not operational
Location Code = V2
2. Display a list of the environmental sensors in a numerical list:
/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/uesensor -a
This is the result of running the example command only.
3 0 11 87 P1 9001 0 11 2345 F1 9004 0 11 2 V1 9004 1 9 2 V2
3. Return the status of sensor 9004, index 1:
/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/uesensor -t 9004 -i 1
This is the result of running the example command only.
4. Return the value of sensor 9004, index 1:
