"Appended to this message is the current version of the
fancontrol script that I am happily using. It uses POSIX::_exit()
to avoid the double-call to the END block, plus it logs STDOUT and
STDERR to different logfiles."

Still technically beta quality, but in my local testing it works equivalently to the /bin/sh
script provided in lm_sensors-2.7.6/prog/pwm but with the bonuses that
a) it doesn't need to spawn outside programs (sleep, grep etc)
b) it can daemonize itself, so it works better as a /etc/init.d script

Subject: lm_sensors 2.8.2 / DESTDIR / root
The reason for this email is that I always try to avoid running
Makefiles as root, even during 'make install'. Therefore, I
always use the DESTDIR feature, when it's available. Until today,
I always built i2c and lm_sensors by doing
$ make
$ make -i install DESTDIR=/foo
$ cd /foo && su root && fix permissions/ownership && install
The -i flag to make install is a kludge to avoid having to be root
while installing to the DESTDIR, and it's only required because
the files are installed with "-o root -g root". Using the -i
flag is of course not a good idea, since more fatal errors can
easily fly by undetected.
Today, I upgraded to Linux 2.6.0, and tried a similar install
procedure for lm_sensors, except that the make target is now "user"
and the install target is "user_install". I now noticed that the
DESTDIR variable is not used everywhere in "user_install", so I
couldn't use the -i kludge anymore. Instead, I wrote a patch that
removes the "-o root -g root" arguments to install everywhere, and
I also tried to add DESTDIR to all files/directories installed.
(The patch only applies to lm_sensors, not i2c, since only
lm_sensors is required in Linux 2.6.0.)
There's really no reason to say -o root -g root anyway, since if you
do install directly with make install, you have to be logged in as
root, and then the files will get the right ownership by default.
Much of the point of installing to a temporary DESTDIR is that you
don't have to be root, and that you can prepare the installation
by hand. Fixing the ownership is trivial:
chown -R root.root $DESTDIR
