Titre: cpufreq-set, where to add to script
Posté par: patrick013 le 09 février 2013 à 21:48:20
Hi,

Need to add cpufreq-set to a start-up script.

Thought rc.local would work, it didn't.
Thought etc/xdg/openbox/autostart would work, it didn't.

etc/init.d/cpufrequtils doesn't work on any distro I've tried.

Usuaslly rc.local works fine, but.........

Where can I add this cpufreq-set command ?

THX

Instead of "cpufreq-set", would you look if you have a "/etc/sysconfig/cpufreq" file ? If so, is this (http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,93564.0.html) likely to help you ?

Also translated to French here (http://wiki.pclinuxos-fr.org/doku.php?id=astuces#configurer_cpufreq). :)

Hi Mel,

The etc/sysconfig/cpufreq doesn't work on my machine and several others.

Putting "cpufreq-set -r -g performance" into etc/rc.local has been the only
way it works.   And that upon other advise.   The cpufreq program just has
some bugs, you know.

thanks for the response.

Hi,

In some distros, ie : Archlinux and certainly several others cpufreq is purely obsoleted, which leads to this: soon it will be outdated for all distributions. However I have not studied well what is dedicated to replace it.

Maybe would you want to throw a glance at "cpupower" ?

Well don't obsolete it yet, no need to run at 800mhz.

There is a line at the end of etc/rc.local reading
"exit 0"    Well if I comment that out the cpufreq-set
command runs thru at a reboot.   Now both cores are
working full power, performance governor, at 1.6 Ghz.

Fussy rc.local today.

thanks for the response.
