@Brendan the reason why it fails on machines with 10 or more CPUs is because one is grep'ing for cpu1 which matches on CPU10, CPU11, CPU12, CPU13, CPU14, CPU15 on the 16 CPU machine. So the script is broken. It looks like /proc/interrupts CPU* headed columns end with trailing spaces, so we could

Just to say, this is one of those issues where bailing out of a situation early without restoring the state gets us in one big hole. The script offlines a CPU, then bails out. When detecting any error condition, code should try to restore back to the proper pre-test state where possible, e.g.

However, the kernel seems to emit an ACPI event when it detects the CPU(s) are merely hot. I suggest we consider adding an acpi hook to attempt to avoid a critical scenario. In fact, I suspect the kernel *will* emit a critical thermal event, but the temperature zips past this threshold and the
