	If we launch in daemon mode (--daemon), we don't have the ncurses UI, but we might want to set the target temperature still. For example, someone might stick the following in their boot script: tmon --control intel_powerclamp --target-temp 90 --log --daemon This would turn on CPU idle injection when we're around 90 degrees celsius, and would log temperature and throttling info to /var/tmp/tmon.log.

2013-11-07	tools/thermal: Introduce tmon, a tool for thermal subsystem	Jacob Pan	1	-0/+142
	Increasingly, Linux is running on thermally constrained devices. The simple thermal relationship between processor and fan has become past for modern computers. As hardware vendors cope with the thermal constraints on their products, more sensors are added, new cooling capabilities are introduced. The complexity of the thermal relationship can grow exponentially among cooling devices, zones, sensors, and trip points. They can also change dynamically. To expose such relationship to the userspace, Linux generic thermal layer introduced sysfs entry at /sys/class/thermal with a matrix of symbolic links, trip point bindings, and device instances. To traverse such matrix by hand is not a trivial task. Testing is also difficult in that thermal conditions are often exception cases that hard to reach in normal operations. TMON is conceived as a tool to help visualize, tune, and test the complex thermal subsystem. Signed-off-by: Jacob Pan <jacob.jun.pan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>
