Yes, it should be more flexible than just 'overtemp'. b. For userspace, there are: acpid - http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpid/ acpi tools, like ospmd (by Andy Grover) - in CVS at http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi/ What others are there? And ospmd (at least) needs some care. Andy wanted to give it up 1 or 2 years ago, so I took it over for awhile. However, it still needs more care, so if anyone out there wants to maintain it, please speak up. -- ~Randy
