SmartFan

[edit] Introduction
Using a Toshiba Satellite M30 notebook, I've to say that using Windows I've no problems with cooling CPU. Under Linux I can use toshutils that have a fan utility that starts/stops the CPU fan. The main problem is that I can only start or stop the fan, I cannot say to the utility "start fan if CPU temperature reaches 55 C°".
So I took the needed code from toshutils and I created a new project called SmartFan that implements this function.
[edit] Technical Specifics
The utility is written in C language and it simply reads the CPU temperature from /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature file. Then it decides to start or stop the fan if the read temperature reaches the given value.
