Description Quentin Armitage 2011-11-28 10:45:55 UTC

Patch to add ability to start i8kmon at boot time.

Description of problem:
It would be really useful if the fan control could be started at system startup, rather than having to be manually started.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
i8kutils-1.33-1.fc16.i686

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the system and notice that the fans aren't controlled
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
i8kmon not running

Expected results:
It would be nice to have i8kmon running

Additional info:
The attached patch adds the functionality to allow i8kmon to be started by /etc/init.d/i8k.

The reason for the patch to i8kmon itself is to allow pidof to find the i8kmon process (and it just seems sensible to avoid an unnecessary exec).

Ping.

This feature would be really good to have.  I am increasing the priority to 'high' since I believe it is something really important.

The patch posted above seems good, although IMO it would also be good to provide an example of config file.

Copy of my /etc/sysconfig/i8k file

The patch contains a modification to the package's i8k.sysconfig file. However, for the sake of completeness, I attach a copy of my /etc/sysconfig/i8k file.

Comment 3 Sergio Durigan Junior 2012-08-04 04:11:35 UTC
Thanks.

Matthias, are you still the Fedora maintainer of this package?

Hi! Thanks for pinging, and sorry for the wait. I'll have a look at this during the next few days.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-17 00:54:51 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-14 02:32:01 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
