This is not something possible, as fancontrol is a shell script which does not fork. As a consequence it is started with "start-stop-daemon --background", which means: - all output is discarded - the exit status is not checked I'll tried to find a solution to this problem, otherwise I'll just tag this bug as wontfix. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
