Comment 4 for bug 576602

for an unknomw reason, my script is not working anymore, the parameters files are not given to fancontrol, taking /etc/fancontrol all the times

Here is a script to avoid this problem :

#!/bin/sh
#
# Fancontrol start script.
#

set -e

# Defaults
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/fancontrol
PIDFILE=/var/run/fancontrol.pid
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

test -f $DAEMON || exit 0

. /lib/lsb/init-functions

                start-stop-daemon --start -b -p $PIDFILE -x $DAEMON
  log_end_msg $?
  sleep 1
                if start-stop-daemon --stop -q -p $PIDFILE ; then
                log_success_msg "redémarrage configuration ok1"
  start-stop-daemon --start -b -p $PIDFILE -x $DAEMON
