Tool to Control Fan - fanctl

[y0sh]

I have tried to install fanctl everything seems to install correctly. When i go and check the status i get process 1536 execstart=/usr/sbin/fanctl (code=exited, status=1/failure) i have checked and fanctl is in the correct directory. Any help to get this running.

Hello y0sh,

What happens when you do:

Code:

luarocks build  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tuxd3v/fanctl/master/fanctl-master-0.rockspec

Also, what is the result of the command:

Code:

uname -a

If the error continues, issue command:
service fanctl stop

after issue:
/usr/sbin/fanctl

What is the output?

yea like in
fanctl --test
should output current cpu/gpu temps and then simulate the breakpoint temps to see if the fan spins accordingly outputting each simulated temp and pwm setting to console

In the source I see some print statements so I assume those can/are piped to syslog?  Once I get more operational/hotter temps I'll want to follow this until I'm sure the fan control is working fine.

Hello dkebler,
You can install a version that is now on master repo with for example:
luarocks build  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tuxd3v...0.rockspec

Then stop fanctl service( to be sure that its not another instance running.. )
service fanctl stop

then, start it in test mode:
/usr/sbin/fanctl --test

or

/usr/sbin/fanctl -t

regards

Came back today to work on it and everything is now working.
