Comment 3 for bug 576602

Sorry for my english i'm french ^

i've done a starting script in init.d for fancontrol to handle the different configurations :

First create fancontrol, fancontrol1, fancontrol2 configuration files for fancontrol with different configurations you can have (you can have only two or more than three conf files)

then here is the script :

*********************************************
#!/bin/sh
#
# Fancontrol start script.
#

set -e

# Defaults
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/fancontrol
PIDFILE=/var/run/fancontrol.pid
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
CONFIG1=/etc/fancontol
CONFIG2=/etc/fancontol1
CONFIG3=/etc/fancontol2

test -f $DAEMON || exit 0

. /lib/lsb/init-functions

case "$1" in
        start)
                log_begin_msg "Starting fancontrol config 1..."
                start-stop-daemon --start -o -b -p $PIDFILE -x $DAEMON $CONFIG2
  log_end_msg $?
  sleep 1
                if start-stop-daemon --stop -q -p $PIDFILE ; then
                log_success_msg "redémarrage configuration ok1"
  start-stop-daemon --start -o -b -p $PIDFILE -x $DAEMON $CONFIG2
                log_end_msg $?
  exit 0
  else
  rm -f $PIDFILE
  fi

  log_begin_msg "Starting fancontrol config 2..."
                start-stop-daemon --start -o -b -p $PIDFILE -x $DAEMON $CONFIG1
  log_end_msg $?
  sleep 1
                if start-stop-daemon --stop -q -p $PIDFILE ; then
                log_success_msg "redémarrage configuration ok2"
  start-stop-daemon --start -o -b -p $PIDFILE -x $DAEMON $CONFIG1
                log_end_msg $?
  exit 0
  else
  rm -f $PIDFILE
  fi

  log_begin_msg "Starting fancontrol config 3..."
                start-stop-daemon --start -o -b -p $PIDFILE -x $DAEMON $CONFIG3
  log_end_msg $?
  sleep 1
                if start-stop-daemon --stop -q -p $PIDFILE ; then
                log_success_msg "redémarrage configuration ok3"
  start-stop-daemon --start -o -b -p $PIDFILE -x $DAEMON $CONFIG3
                log_end_msg $?
  exit 0
  else
  rm -f $PIDFILE
  fi
                ;;
        stop)
                log_begin_msg "Stopping fancontrol daemon..."
                start-stop-daemon --stop -o -q -p $PIDFILE
                log_end_msg $?
                rm -f $PIDFILE
  ;;
        force-reload|restart)
                sh $0 stop
                sh $0 start
                ;;
        *)
                log_success_msg "Usage: /etc/init.d/fancontrol {start|stop|restart|force-reload}"
                log_success_msg " start - starts system-wide fancontrol service"
                log_success_msg " stop - stops system-wide fancontrol service"
                log_success_msg " restart, force-reload - starts a new system-wide fancontrol service"
                exit 1
                ;;
esac

exit 0
**************************************

For now then fancontrol daemon always starts without fails....
Hope this could be useful for others
With only one week of linux practice, i'm proud of this script ! ^^
