fand is a simple fan control daemon. It is modelled after the
program fancontrol (from lm-sensors),
but is written as a minimal C daemon rather than a shell script. It
monitors temperature sensors (via the Linux sysfs interface) and uses
them to control fans.
- libconfuse
- libdaemon
- autotools
- pkg-config
That's it.
This program controls fans. If those fans are misconfigured, it could overheat your system. Use at your own risk; the author is not responsible for any damage this software may inflict on your computer, your house, your cat, or anything else that may be affected by your fans.
sh# aclocal
sh# autoreconf
sh# automake --add-missing
sh# ./configure
sh# make
fand reads its configuration (fans, sensors, etc.) from a
configuration file, by default located in
${sysconfdir}/etc/fand.conf:
interval = 10
sensor main
{
path = "/sys/devices/platform/mv64xxx_i2c.0/i2c-0/0-0048/temp1_input"
}
fan main
{
path = "/sys/devices/platform/mv64xxx_i2c.0/i2c-0/0-003e/pwm1"
sensor = "main"
min_temp = 20
max_temp = 45
min_power = 0
max_power = 255
}
If the temp is below min_temp, the power is set to min_power;
respectively max_power if it is at or above max_temp. Otherwise,
the power is linearly interpolated between the two power levels. The
sensors and fans are updated every interval seconds.
