This is an enhanced version of rvega's Fan-Control-Daemon <https://github.com/rvega/Fan-Control-Daemon>,
which itself is an enhanced version of Allan McRae mbpfan <http://allanmcrae.com/2010/05/simple-macbook-pro-fan-daemon/>

Fan-Control-Daemon is a daemon that uses input from coretemp module and sets the fan speed using the applesmc module. 
This enhanced version assumes any number of processors and fans (max. 10).

	*  It only uses the temperatures from the processors as input.
	*  It requires coretemp and applesmc kernel modules to be loaded.
	*  It requires root use


Compile with
gcc -o mbpfan -lm mbpfan.c

Run with
sudo ./mbpfan
