Please let me know if you have problem with the resulting overall behavior. - * ARGUMENTS - - The breezed executable can read a configuration file (which is - /etc/breezed.conf by default, but that you can specify with - --configuration-file ) or get the various parameters on the - command line. - - The thermal files can be specified either with the --thermal-files - options on the command line or the thermal_files keyword in the - configuration file. The provided value should be a comma-separated - list of filenames. When it want to pool the temperature, the daemon - will read those files and compute the maximum integer value they - contains. - - The fan file can be specified with either --fan-file or the - fan_file keyword. The specified file will be used by the daemon to - control the fan speed by writing "level n" into it. - - The temperature thresholds can be specified either with the - --temperature-thresholds argument, or with the - temperature_thresholds keyword in the configuration file. The - provided value should be a comma separated list of integers. The - first one is actually ignored and forced to -1. Each value states - which temperature should trigger the given level. - - For instance, my X61s has 8 fan levels, from 0 to 7. The thresholds - I picked are -1,52,54,56,58,60,62,64. Hence, when the temperature - reaches 52C, the fan is set to level 1, when it reached 54C it is - set to level 2, etc. The maximum speed level 7 is chosen for any - temperature equal or greater than 64C. As said above, the - temperature to decrease the speed has to be two degrees below the - provided thresholds. Hence, the temperature of my X61s has to go - down to 50C (52C - 2) for the fan to switch off. Also, the daemon - waits at least 30s before reducing the speed of the fan. + See the man page for details about the arguments and configuration + file. * NOTES diff --git a/breezed.1 b/breezed.1 index 14f0f8d..2f01520 100644 --- a/breezed.1 +++ b/breezed.1 @@ -1,15 +1,29 @@ -.TH "BREEZED" "1" -.SH "NAME" +.TH "BREEZED" "1" +.SH "NAME" breezed - Fan control daemon -.SH "SYNOPSIS" -.PP -\fBbreezed\fP [\fBoptions\fP] -.SH "DESCRIPTION" -.PP -\fBbreezed\fP -Adjusts the fan speed according to the temperature of the computer. -.SH "OPTIONS" -.IP "\fB-h | --help\fP " 10 +.SH "SYNOPSIS" +.PP +\fBbreezed\fP [\fBoptions\fP] +.SH "DESCRIPTION" +.PP +\fBbreezed\fP Adjusts the fan speed according to the computer +temperature.
