I'm pretty sure we violated KISS a long time ago with pCP. lol
But yes, pCP is designed to be lightweight. The RPi hardware itself is
really not flexible for mass storage.

Thanks Paul for the script.
The shutdown works.
Unfortunately, the fan does not start.
I have changed the temperature threshold but no luck.
Maybe I am doing something wrong or something is missing.

Yes I did, and experimented with rsync, so that is why I hesitate to

does not really change the light behind my dark screen.
Just a thought - have you enlarged the SD partition?
I enlarged mine to 500mb, which is far bigger than needed. But is the
default 50mb? That might be a bit small, and might cause random
problems - mine's currently using about 48mb.
Oh dear - good luck!
The enter/confirm button, using the configuration above, would be the X
button, which takes you RIGHT. The Y button takes you LEFT, to back out
of a selection. Brightness control isn't working in Jivelite in the
