There's one hit now for "ibm-fancontrol.pl" .. your message :) Without the quotes shows some interesting stuff, but nothing FreeBSD-specific.

It's a lot more heavy duty, starting and stopping powerd and controlling CPU freq directly too. I like the direct mapping of temperatures to fan speeds, though my normal operating range at idle is 44-48C, while on full fan there's nothing I can run to get my T23 over ~80C in summer, ~65C winter (ie now :) so I wasn't looking at powerd interaction too. FWIW, my little script lives at http://smithi.id.au/temp_t23 > --------------- cut here ----------------- Thanks, Ian
