Maybe. Let me restate the problem: I don't expect fancontrol to control my fan when it is not running (mankind is not ready for this kind of software...) I don't want to stop my fan when not running fancontrol. in other words I don't want to burn my cpu. should I decide to burn it, I'm able to do that without using fancontrol at all. I would like to keep the fan at exactly the same speed fancontrol has last adjusted it, which I assume is high enough to keep the cpu cool, but not so noisy as full-speed. if the latter is considered dangerous, I'll happily switch to "kill -9"... regards g.b.
