Recommended to create the following script as /etc/init.d/fancontrol with owner and group root, permissions rwxr-xr-x. It can be installed as root using:
update-rc.d fancontrol defaults 99 01
If you want to see boot and shutdown messages from this script, set VERBOSE=yes in /etc/default/rcS. The default setting is VERBOSE=no.
