Bugzilla Bug 98753

Prepared an /etc/init.d/fancontrold - if there isn't one so far

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Works for me...


#!/sbin/runscript

FANPID=/var/run/fancontrol.pid
FANCONTROL=/usr/sbin/fancontrol

depend() {
        after lm_sensors
}

start() {
        ebegin "Starting fan control daaemon"
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $FANPID --exec $FANCONTROL 
-- >>/dev/null &
        eend $?
}

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping fan control daaemon"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $FANPID
        eend $?
}

I think that in need to insert "--background" and remove "&" from line:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $FANPID --exec $FANCONTROL
-- >>/dev/null &

Result:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet  --background \
--pidfile $FANPID --exec $FANCONTROL -- >>/dev/null

I plan to include this with the next revision/version bump. Thanks.

Included a slightly modified version of the init script in
sys-apps/lm_sensors-2.10.0. Thank you for contributing this script :)

Since I have no way of verifying that the script works (lack of supported
hardware), please verify this bug report when you have tested
sys-apps/lm_sensors-2.10.0.

Well,

What I got was:

# /etc/init.d/fancontrol start
 * Caching service dependencies ...                                            
                                                    [ ok ]
 * Starting fancontrol ...
/sbin/start-stop-daemon: unrecognized option `--pid-file'
Try `/sbin/start-stop-daemon --help' for more information.                     
                                                    [ !! ]

Pressed commit too early, sorry.

You seem to have spelled - it should be --pidfile (one word) not --pid-file
This way it does work.

Oops, sorry. Fixed in CVS. Thanks.
