SysV init script for fancontrol to keep deskside servers quiet (USE WITH CAUTION).

fancontrol-init.sh

#! /bin/sh
# Save as /etc/init.d/fancontrol
# update-rc.d fancontrol defaults 90 10
#
# Based on /etc/init.d/skeleton
# Tested on a Supermicro 1U box running Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64.
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          fancontrol
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: fan control
# Description:       Control hardware fans based on sensors and pwmconfig.
### END INIT INFO

# Author: Ron DuPlain <[email protected]>
#
# Do not edit /etc/fancontrol directly.  To update fancontrol settings:
# service fancontrol stop
# pwmconfig # run through prompts, then on final menu: #1 (sensor config) then #4 (save & quit)
# service fancontrol start
#
# To configure fancontrol for the first time:
# sudo apt-get install fancontrol lm-sensors
# sudo sensors-detect 
# cat /etc/modules 
# sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools start
# sudo sensors -s
# sudo sensors
# sudo pwmconfig # detect fancontrol, configure control, save & quit
# cat /etc/fancontrol 
# sudo fancontrol 

# PATH should only include /usr/* if it runs after the mountnfs.sh script
