NAME bsdfan - a simple utility to manage thinkpads fan on FreeBSD

SYNOPSIS bsdfan [-d] [-c config-file ]

DESCRIPTION bsdfan automaticallty regulates the fan speed by the sensor temperature and the user configuration.

OPTIONS -d Start bsdfan as a daemon

   -c config-file
          Use  the  alternate   system   wide   config-file   instead   of
          /usr/local/etc/bsdfan.conf.

FILES /usr/local/etc/bsdfan.conf The system wide configuration file. Overridden by the -c option.

          Here the user can specifies the levels the fan will be  set  to.
          They  range from 0 (fan idle) to 7 (full speed), it's not neces-
          sary to use all levels.  Levels must be  declared  in  ascending
          order by level_number and are declared as follows:

          level(level_number,level_min_temperature,level_max_temperature)

          where level_number is the level number as described above from 0
          to 7,

          level_min_temperature is the temperature below which  the  level
          will be decreased.

          level_max_temperature  is  the  maximum temperature beyond which
          the level will be increased.

          level_min_temperature for the first level must be  equal  to  0.
          levl_max_temperature  for  the  last  level must be greater than
          150.

          An example is provided with the software.
