Change fanspeed with nvclock at boot problem

[Jareth]

Hi,

I have a problem adjusting my extremely noisy 8800GT fans at startup.
I installed nvclock and I'm able to do adjust the fans manually by typing

/usr/bin/nvclock -c 1 -F 35 -f
/usr/bin/nvclock -c 2 -F 35 -f

but can't seem to get the script to run at startup, here's what I did:

I created a script 'zznvfans' with just thsee two lines:

/usr/bin/nvclock -c 1 -F 35 -f
/usr/bin/nvclock -c 2 -F 35 -f

Made it executable:

$ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/zznvfans

Added links for the runlevels:

$ sudo update-rc.d zznvfans defaults

I am able to execute the script manually yet it doens't seem to be working on startup.


What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance.

Can you verify that an appropriate symlink is in /etc/rc2.d/?

Failing that, try adding

#!/bin/bash

as the first line of the file.

Hi jamesM,

Thanks for the reply!

I verified the link in /etc/rc2.d is present, it is, it reads 'S99zznvfans'.

Next I added as you suggested

#!/bin/bash

as the first line, so my script now looks like this

#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/nvclock -c 1 -F 35 -f
/usr/bin/nvclock -c 2 -F 35 -f

but it didn't seem to yield any results, the fans are still revving at full speed.

Do you have other suggestions?
