Hello,

I have a Dell laptop. I installed the i8kutils port to control my fans. The problem is i8kmon will not start. i8kmon always fails to load when I boot my laptop, and I am forced to run it from my X session. If I run it from the command line with the -d or --daemon flags it fails to daemonize. Any suggestions?

I fixed it by modifing the /etc/init.d/i8k script with the following:

Code:
...
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/i8kmon.pid \
          --make-pidfile --exec /usr/bin/tclsh --background \
          -- /usr/bin/i8kmon --daemon
...
