[cron] シェルを自動実行してLinuxのGPUのファンをCurve Controlする

環境

Linux Ubuntu bionic xfce

はじめに

LinuxでNvidiaのグラボをカーブコントロール(グラボの温度に応じてファンを制御すること)をするためにWebを漁りなんとか解決にたどり着いた。

手順

1. ファンコントロールをするシェルを用意する　(https://github.com/FedoraTipper/Nvidia-Fan-Curve-Linux)
2. crontabで起動時に自動実行するようにする

1.ファン制御するシェル

/path/to/script

#!/bin/bash
#Make sure to enable nvidia-xconfig --cool-bits=4


#This new script works with version 378.13 driver
#Old script is not functional (on Arch, at least)
#Changed up some options and flags for nvidia-settings
#Added some comments for clarity, in case other people want to make improved forks

#enable headless mode 
#request lightdm installed - apt install --no-install-recommends xorg lightdm for debian/ubuntu

        #Note: you need to set the minimum fan speed to a non-zero value, or it won't work
        #This fan profile is being used in my GTX580 (Fermi). Change it as necessary

        if [ "$verbose" = true ] ; then
            echo "gpu ${i} new fanspeed ${newfanspeed}"; 
        fi
        
        sleep 1s
    #increment gpu index
    i=$(($i+1))
    done
done

2. crontab設定

設定

エディタで追記

エディタ起動

crontab -e

/tmp/crontab.xxxxx

@reboot /path/to/script

ワンライナーで追記

echo '@reboot /path/to/script' | crontab

設定内容を確認

crontab -l

結果

@reboot /path/to/script
