Toshiba Fan On Ubuntu

You need to install toshset include on toshutils (do you have lm-sensors ?)

sudo apt-get install toshutils

This script make the fan run high, low or normal

#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
	h) sudo toshset -fan 4 # high
	;;
	n) sudo toshset -fan 5 # normal
	;;
	l) sudo toshset -fan 6 # low
	;;
esac

If you live in warn places, “~$ script.sh h” could be help you a little don’t use all time this option, to normalize your fan run “~$script.sh n”.

There are other tools on toshset “man toshset”.
