Public bug reported:
When automatically controlling the fan speed, i8kmon executes the
following command:
/usr/bin/i8kfan 1 2
This is incorrect as the usage of this command requires a 'fan' argument
like so:
/usr/bin/i8kfan fan 1 2
Without the 'fan' argument, the fan speed will not be changed. The lack
of this additional argument may be attributed to the i8kfan man page
which incorrectly states the following:
Invoking i8kctl as i8kfan is the same as invoking the program with the
fan option:
$ i8kctl fan 1 2
1 2
$ i8kfan 1 2
1 2
However, checking the usage of the i8kfan command clearly states the
'fan' argument is required:
$ i8kfan --help
Usage: i8kfan [-v] [fan [<l> <r>] | speed | version | bios | id | temp | ac |
fn]
