Description of problem: Bash detects a syntax error in the fancontrol script. This means it will probably not run correctly. sh -n /usr/sbin/fancontrol /usr/sbin/fancontrol: line 334: syntax error near unexpected token `<' /usr/sbin/fancontrol: line 334: ` read < <(exec sleep 1)' I think the read command needs a variable to receive the input being sent to it. There is another one like this at line 372. I am rating this high severity since a malfunctioning fan can cause the system to shutdown. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lm_sensors-2.10.4-2.fc8 Additional info: F7 has the same problem.
Well, then you shouldn't start it with sh but with bash: [hans@localhost ~]$ cat /usr/sbin/fancontrol | head -n 1 #!/bin/bash Closing as works for me.
