Yes it is, even though I would be a little more cautious: if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/fancontrol -a -r /etc/fancontrol ] then /usr/local/sbin/fancontrol fi -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
