Plus 0 for off, I guess?

Snippets from the (overdone) fan control script [0] running on my T23:
sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan=0 >/dev/null # turn auto fan control OFF
sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_level=$level >/dev/null
echo "`sysctl -n dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_speed`rpm" >>$log
sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan=1 >/dev/null # auto fan ON
On this, the auto fan would let temperatures rise to 65C or more, then
turn the fan full on until below about 45C, then off. Using the half
speed as well keeps idle temperature steady mostly between 44-48C while
being virtually silent, and is just as responsive to load/heat peaks.
The T23 having only off, half and full speeds simplifies code though.
cheers, Ian
