This repo is forked from NoLooseEnds/Scripts, which contained
R710-IPMI-TEMP. I have extended it to work on both my R520 and R730xd
(unchanged on the latter despite hardware raid card, GPU etc), being a
bit smarter regarding the CPU and HDD temps instead of just caring
about the ambient temperature. It uses ipmi raw commands that seem to
be similar across a wide range of dell server generations (google
searches for `ipmitool raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x00` show it works for
R710, R730, R730xd, T130, and I run this on my R520 and R730xd).

It's got a signal handler so it defaults to default behaviour when
killed by SIGINT/SIGTERM/other bugs.

This repo is forked from
[NoLooseEnds/Scripts](https://github.com/NoLooseEnds/Scripts/tree/master/R710-IPMI-TEMP),
extended to drive demand based on device temperature excesses.
Of course, for your Poweredge server of a different generation, with
different cards fitted, you may have more temperature sensors you may
want to monitor. There's some additional sensors you may want to look
at via [commands documented
here](https://www.spxlabs.com/blog/2019/3/16/silence-your-dell-poweredge-server).
There are completely separate implementations as well. Here's
someone's [docker container that fixes the speed until core
temperatures are
breached](https://github.com/tigerblue77/Dell_iDRAC_fan_controller_Docker),
or [this code which implements distinct speed levels and
hysteresis](https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/tarta-crust/blob/master/r710_fan_controller/usr/local/libexec/r710_fan_controller.sh).
