It's possible to force mbmon to probe a particular sensor if there
any several, by using the -p option.  For example, on our servers
at work I have:

#mbmon -A -d
Summary of Detection:
 * SMB monitor(s)[ioctl:AMD8111]:
  ** Winbond Chip W83627HF/THF/THF-A found at slave address: 0x50.
  ** Analog Dev. Chip ADM1027 found at slave address: 0x5C.
 * ISA monitor(s):
  ** Winbond Chip W83627HF/THF/THF-A found.

To force it to use ADM1027 which shows CPUs' temperature (dual CPU
box), I have to use: "mbmon -p lm85".  Otherwise, it always probes
the Winbond chip.
