See, now that I can understand. :)

Anyway, let's see...having set temperatures to 60, 50 and 45 C
respectively, and running a compile to move the core temperature up, the
fan does in fact trigger at 45 C. Outstanding. I'll script it into
changing them automatically at startup.

I wouldn't leave anything to the user unless it's extremely clear cut,
particularly with the movement towards a more Windows-like Linux (see
Bluecurve) that tries to soften the reality of Linux not being that
friendly to the average schmuck.

Actually, I only wanted to know whether you set a "polling frequency"
(e.g. echo 1 > polling_frequency after setting these temperature trip
points.
