Hi!

i am glade that Arch has his section on LinuxQuestions, my question may not be relevant to this forum but when I asked people often asked my distro.

I want to make this simple script :

#!/bin/bash

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo

being execute on startup, the simplest way using systemd with sysv compatibility.

I get really confuse when I m trying to understand bashscript and sysv or systemd startup configuration. I really just need this simple line to be executed without option like "enable, disable, start, stop"

I activated sysv-compatibility.service in systemd and try to past in /etc/profile.d/ my script but it doesnt work.

I would like a good example of what I need to do please.

The script looks good. Its just the wrong place to put it. /etc/profile.d/ files get executed when you start a shell and it must be bash as far as I know.
You have to check out the /etc/init.d directory. Or if present on arch /etc/rc.local. You can just put the shell code here.

If using /etc/init.d you have to make sure there is sylink to it from the appropiate runlevel /etc/rc#.d directory.

To get your runlevel fire up a shell and type followed by enter

Hi,

thanks for your answer,


However I stil dont really know what to do because i have only a folder called rc.d/ in /etc/ and no rc1.d/ rc2.d/ etc... and it s the same with init.d/ i dont have such a folder or file called like that in my /etc/ folder. It s a fresh arch install that runned only with systemd.

And I m not familiar at all with systemd, maybe do you have a udev rule that would execute my script or something like that ?

This example assumes you want your script to start up when the target multi-user is launched. Issue a chmod 755 to your script to enable execute permissions
Since your are using a shell script, make sure you have #!/bin/sh in the first line of the script.

Now for the part that is new:

Create your systemd service file below /etc/systemd/system. In your case you could call it /etc/systemd/system/noturbo.service then add the following contents:

Then:

# systemctl enable noturbo.service

You can start the service:

# systemctl start noturbo.service

Reboot to verify it does what you need and tweak as required. The ArchLinux wiki is a great resource (LQ is great too, but this is a bit more direct).

Thanks a lot !! It works perfectly !! Now everything works great on a Macbook pro 8.1 late 2011 13". It should be added to the macbook pro install arch wiki since macbooks pro are heating up very fast due to the bad cooling system from Apple in lastest linux 3.9 + kernels.

It feels amazing to have the power of a Mac with a such powerfull distro like Arch. I love Arch and I love the Arch community thank you for having made me complete a full supported macbook pro arch custom kernel install.

BTW systemd seems so easy when I see such a good example like yours.
