Please note that the program won't detect fans connected via Molex connectors or external fan controllers. Also I have not tested it with fan splitters either.

The program is smart enough to detect whether some of your fan blades are spinning, or the particular fan have been removed. Hold down some of your fan blades and you'll see that the program won't include this fan and its RPM, release the blades and you'll see the fan and its RPM in the statusbar. Try simulating real fan hardware failure by holding down all system fan blades and watch what the program will show you, just try not to slice your cheesy fingers open in the process.

FreeBSD has no other way than using the module specific convention to query sysctl and obtain data from the sensors. Maintaining a list with all the possible module names and performing expensive sysctl calls in a loop to determine that X module is loaded into your system is no-go. Be prepared to spend a minute or two to find out some system information.

pinky-bar is no longer tied to Window Managers only. With the addition of "without colors", the output can be shown in any program, just bear in mind that the more options you've supplied the more system information will be shown.
