[Solved] Problem with xfce4-genmon-plugin

Hi,
i am using the xfce4-genmon-plugin for reading out the temperature of my disk behind a 3aware hardwarecontroller.
The normal command for this in a terminal is etc.
"smartctl -d 3ware,0 -A /dev/twa0 | grep Temperature_Celsius | awk '{print $10}' "
For get this working with the xfce4-genmon-plugin i used a sh-script with the command inside.
I am using fedora 15 x86_64 with xfce desktop.

The problem:
Since version xfce4-genmon-plugin-3.3.0-1.fc15.x86_64 i get no temperture output inside the xfce4-genmon-plugin, except i click on preferences inside the xfce4-genmon-plugin and closed the preferences window.
Then i get an temperature output.

With version xfce4-genmon-plugin-3.2-7.fc15.x86_64 everything was fine, and i get a temperatue output after 60 sec without this trick.

Does everyone know this problem or have a solution for that?
If you need more info let me know.

Thx and greetz

Wolfgang

Re: [Solved] Problem with xfce4-genmon-plugin

In fedora 15 we have a new bugfix release xfce4-genmon-plugin-3.3.0-3.fc15.x86_64, that fixed the problem.
Thx to Christoph Wickert  for his work.
