i8k

SuSE 7.3 does not have the modules i8k (Dell Inspiron 8000), or I didn't go looking for them...

I just installed kernel 2.4.20 and that has the i8k module incorporated. Now for the i8ktools. They come with a init.d script for debian.

based upon the delivered init.d script, i created my i8k script for /etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d.

I inserted constants in /etc/rc.config:

##
## i8k tools will be launched
##
START_I8K="yes"
##
## i8k monitor program
##
I8K_DAEMON="/usr/bin/i8kmon"
##
## i8k monitor program arguments
## 
I8K_DAEMON_ARGS="--daemon"
##
## i8k monitor will be launched
##
I8K_STARTDAEMON="yes"
