Hi, You recently reported a bug [0] in Debian's sysfsutils package. I tested the init script, and it appears to work as intended. I added this line to /etc/sysfs.conf:
devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor = ondemand and added two lines to /etc/init.d/sysfsutils: while read key val; do + echo setting $key = $val; + continue; if [ "$key" -a "$val" ]; then Now, running /etc/init.d/sysfsutils start yields: $ sudo /etc/init.d/sysfsutils start Setting sysfs variables...setting devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor = ondemand done. So, it may not be functioning as desired, but it is not failing for the reason you gave. The variables are visible within the while loop (but not outside it, I guess). (Well, this is true for me, at least:) Can you confirm that there is a newline at the end of /etc/sysfs.conf? The final line will not be `read` if there is none.
