Breezed is a small daemon to control the speed of the fan,
depending on the current temperature of the computer. I have tested
- it only on a Thinkpad X61s.
+ it only on a Thinkpad X61s and T420s.
* INSTALLATION
- You can install it simply by running as root
+ Before installing, you must have a configuration file in
+ /etc/breezed.conf.
- ./install.sh
+ Two are currently provided in the archive, and they use the
+ settings *I* picked for my Lenovo X61s and T420s. I have no idea if
+ these settings are safe on these laptops (I guess so, since I have
+ been using them for years on both), and I suspect they are not safe
+ for another laptop. If you want to give it a try, just do
- and de-install it with
+ cp breezed_Lenovo_X61s.conf /etc/breezed.conf
- ./remove.sh
+ Then, you can install the daemon simply with
- You must have a configuration file in /etc/breezed.conf. Only one
- is currently provided in the archive, and it corresponds to the
- settings _I_ picked for _my_ Lenovo X61s. I have no idea if these
- settings are safe on this laptop (I guess so, since I have been
- using them for a few months now and it works perfectly), and I
- suspect they are not safe for another laptop.
+ make install
+
+ and uninstall it with
+
+ make uninstall
See the man page for details about the algorithm, arguments and
