I know there are several programs out there that adjust your fan speed
based on temperature readings. However, I couldn't find one worked well
on my system, so I wrote my own. This program takes a very simple
approach: if the system is too hot, the fans run on maximum power,
otherwise they run at minimum power. The reasoning behind this approach
is explained at length here:

and the resulting program, in C, is available here:

This is now running on my system and I'm very happy with the results.
Should this be the program that ships by default with lm-sensors? Let
me know what you think. Thanks!
