     363== How do I handle changing Linux names for hwmon deveices (hwmon0, hwmon1, etc)
     364
     365It's not a good idea to have the /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1' path hard coded as devices can move around depending on kernels, kernel config, and sometimes just boot to boot. Instead you should find the device with a name of gsc_hwmon and use that.
     366
     367An example is below:
     368{{{
     369
     370DEV=$(for i in $(ls /sys/class/hwmon); do [ "gsc_hwmon" = $(cat /sys/class/hwmon/$i/name) ] && echo $i; done)
     371
     372cat /sys/class/hwmon/$DEV/pwm1_auto_point1_temp
     373}}}
