Hi,

I know nothing about the background to the mail below, but if it's of
any help, macfanctld uses the following hardwired paths,

reading:

/sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/temp<n>_input

and writing:

/sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan1_min
/sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan2_min
/sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan1_manual
/sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan2_manual

If any of those are to be broken, please advice in advance so i can
update the source before you break it, avoiding that the users fry their
MacBooks.

Thanks,
Mike
