Comment on Controlling fan with Thinkfan on Lenovo Thinkpad R61 on Debian GNU/Linux (adjusting proper fan cycling) by hip0.
Hi,
One more thing in my post recommend to use a cron similar to:
0,30 * * * * killall -HUP thinkfan
A good tip here is to set to this cron line also the output of it to go to /dev/null for example:
0,30 * * * * killall -HUP thinkfan >/dev/null 2>&3
If you don’t place the cron by redirecting standard error and warning messages to /dev/null then on your physical console you will experience a very annoying messages from the thinkfan restart.
Hope that helps

Yep, compiling on Linux is a piece of cake. Good you made it to decrease your CPU temperature. Still 80 degrees is too high temperature and if your CPU works for too long time under this temperature its scheduled live will decrease tremendously.
try to set a root crontab to execute on cron:
echo level 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan >/dev/null 2>&1
from cmd line quickest way under root (if you don’t have other crons running) would be:
# echo ‘*/1 * * * * echo level 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan >/dev/null 2>&1’ | crontab –
best!

What I don’t get is your fan level speed showing set to 7 when you cat the /proc/acpi/ibm../ ?

Hi Stan,
I guess you cannot read the writtings on the icon as it is in cyrillic.
This is not Saint Mary and Saint Peter but Adam and Eve written in cyrillic on top of the icon.
Actually in orthodoxy it is a requirement for the depicted personalities, especially saints to have
written on the names of the saint and have the Halo. If you look closely at the picture you will notice
the two Adam and Eve are missing a Halo. The only person with a Halo in the icon is Saint John the Baptist.
Best Regards

Install and configure rkhunter for improved security on a PCI DSS Linux / BSD servers with no access to Internet
–rwo, –report-warnings-only
This option causes only warning messages to be displayed. This can be useful when rkhunter is run via cron. Other options may
be used to force other items of information to be displayed.
–sk, –skip-keypress
When the –check command option is used, after certain sections of tests, the user will be prompted to press the return key
in order to continue. This option disables that feature, and rkhunter will run until all the tests have completed.
