What is the command for > changing the fan speed, especially to auto? Snippets from the (overdone) fan control script [0] running on my T23: sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan=0 >/dev/null # turn auto fan control OFF sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_level=$level >/dev/null echo "`sysctl -n dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_speed`rpm" >>$log sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan=1 >/dev/null # auto fan ON On this, the auto fan would let temperatures rise to 65C or more, then turn the fan full on until below about 45C, then off. Using the half speed as well keeps idle temperature steady mostly between 44-48C while being virtually silent, and is just as responsive to load/heat peaks. The T23 having only off, half and full speeds simplifies code though. cheers, Ian [0] http://smithi.id.au/temp_t23
