How can I fix the problems with the script to control fan speed according to the HDD temperature?
On this webpage, I found the following script to control fan speed according to hard disk temperature, but it does not work on my Mint 19. If I have understood correctly, the script file "Fancontrol_Hddtemp" should be put into "/var/lib/Fancontrol_Hddtemp". Then the configuration file "/etc/fancontrol" needs to be modified accordingly: the line
"FCTEMPS=hwmon2/pwm2=hwmon2/temp1_input" should be changed to
"FCTEMPS=hwmon2/pwm2=the path to the script file"
so that "temp1" (the motherboard temperature) will be replaced with "hddtemp" (the hard disk temperature). I have tried the following paths, neither of which works. How can I fix the problem?
/var/lib/Fancontrol_Hddtemp/
/var/lib/Fancontrol_Hddtemp/Fancontrol_Hddtemp-maximum
The following is the script file "/var/lib/Fancontrol_Hddtemp".
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin/
LC_ALL=C
# set -x
# exec 2>>/var/log/Fancontrol_Hddtemp.log
# date=$(date)
DISKS="/dev/sd[a-z]"
# located in /var/lib/ so it will be there for fancontrol during boot
LOCATION=/var/lib/Fancontrol_Hddtemp
FILE_MAX="$LOCATION"/Fancontrol_Hddtemp-maximum
FILE_AVG="$LOCATION"/Fancontrol_Hddtemp-average
DEGUG=0
[[ -e $LOCATION ]] || mkdir "$LOCATION"
while true
do
temperature=0
summation=0
maximum=0
average=0
count=0
for value in $(hddtemp -n $DISKS 2>/dev/null)
do
[[ $value != [0-9]* ]] && continue
temperature="${value//[!0-9]}"
((summation+=$temperature))
((count+=1))
if [ $temperature -gt $maximum ]; then
maximum=$temperature
fi
if [ $DEGUG = 1 ]; then
average=$(echo "scale=1; $summation / $count" | bc)
echo $summation
echo $maximum
echo $average
echo $count
echo "-----"
Show original message
done
average=$(echo "scale=1; $summation / $count" | bc)
# fancontrol output format
echo "($maximum * 1000)/1" | bc > "$FILE_MAX".write
