Ok then, we could concentrate the boosting in the cpufreq-set command which should check for the calling user id being root or similar: cpufreq-set --boost (on|off) - toggles boosting cpufreq-set --boost - without an option could dump the current boosting setting. This is much more intuitive IMHO. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
