Yes, or the lm_sensors.init.redhat. You will have to do some
modifications so that the init script will work on FC2. Set the needed
modules in /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors. Don't set the modules being loaded
in /etc/rc.local. It is much better to use the init script in the
desired runlevel (you will have to use chkconfig too) than to put the
loading into the rc.local script file.
Hmm, thats good advice Alexander, I have a few things in rc.local to load at
boot time (that do not use or need an init file).
I was not aware of the lm_sensors.init script though :(
Is it really required to be a service? Surley this should of been done right
by the RPM packagers if it is needed.
Just my thoughts,
Colin
