Installation

From source

1. Clone the repository
2. Run make build
3. (Optional) Place hpfan in your $PATH, and maybe setuid it since it needs root privileges to write the pwm files.

Usage

$ ./hpfan -h
Usage: ./hpfan [-t temp_file] [-p pwm_file] [-w temp_wall]

• -t specifies the file to read the temperature from. Defaults to /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp.
• -p specifies the file to write the pwm value to. Defaults to /sys/devices/platform/hp-wmi/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1_enable.
• -w specifies the threshold temperature to start the fan at. Defaults to 50000, which is 50°C.
