Now, it shows "Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time."
"# ls -l lm_sensors -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3097 Out 14 12:06 lm_sensors"
"# locate lm_sensors.init /usr/share/doc/lm_sensors-2.8.7/lm_sensors.init /usr/share/doc/lm_sensors-2.8.7/lm_sensors.init.redhat /usr/share/doc/lm_sensors-2.8.7/lm_sensors.init.suse"
Then, should I copy the first one to "/etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors", please?
Yes, or the lm_sensors.init.redhat. You will have to do some modifications so that the init script will work on FC2. Set the needed modules in /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors. Don't set the modules being loaded in /etc/rc.local. It is much better to use the init script in the desired runlevel (you will have to use chkconfig too) than to put the loading into the rc.local script file.
Hmm, thats good advice Alexander, I have a few things in rc.local to load at boot time (that do not use or need an init file). I was not aware of the lm_sensors.init script though :( Is it really required to be a service? Surley this should of been done right by the RPM packagers if it is needed.
Just my thoughts,
