Yes, running modprobe lines is an appropriate job for shell scripts. The exact file depends on your distribution. For exemple, I am running a Slackware 8.0 distribution and it works this way: In /etc/rc.d/rc.local, I added the following lines: --- snip --- if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.sensors ] then . /etc/rc.d/rc.sensors fi --- snip --- And then, in /etc/rc.d/rc.sensors: --- snip --- #modprobe i2c-proc modprobe i2c-i801 modprobe eeprom if [ -x /usr/local/bin/sensors ] then /usr/local/bin/sensors -s fi --- snip --- This may look like this or not for your distribution, that I can't say. You may find that someone used to the distribution you are using will be more helpful that us for solving the problem, because it is much more related to the distribution than to lm_sensors. Good luck. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
