+#
+# Plugin to monitor the CPU temperature through lm-sensors.
+# v1.0 (2008-02-15) Oliver Ladner <oli@lugh.ch>
+# 
+# Requirements:
+# 	- A configured lm-sensors installation
+#       - Supported device (see http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices)
+#       - grep, sed and awk
+#
+# Todo:
+#       - Ability to monitor multiple sensors like fan speeds, voltage etc.
+#       - Better checks (availabilty of lm-sensors, sensors itself, path names)
+#
+# Parameters supported:
+#
+# 	config
+# 	autoconf
+#
+# Magic markers:
+#%# capabilities=autoconf
