(Please DO NOT email me and just ask for support on your motherboard, post it here with your SMC chip instead if you want someone to look into and help.) Replies. Reading hardware information from command line with built-in tools. Working in progress: NCT6681 (Reading works, no fan control) NCT6683 (Reading works, no fan control) Please email me if you need help developing additional chip support.
#Smc fan control will not launch for mac os x
The above article and the script it contains was designed for Mac OS X 10.4.3.

This article, get sensor information, shows how to use ioreg to extract the fan speed information with: ioreg -c IOHWSensor | grep -B3 -A11 '"type" = "fanspeed"' See Can I get the CPU temperature and fan speed from the command line in OS X? Pre-Mac OS X 10.5 Other tools and applications exist, including Temperature Monitor. This is a computationally expensive process, even when run for one second.

Spindump requires administrator privileges and when run manually, spindump samples user and kernel stacks for every process in the system. This article, OS X: Current CPU temperature on command line, talks about the project and how to extract the fan speed: smc -k TC0D -r | sed 's/.*bytes \(.*\))/\1/' |sed 's/\(*\)/0x\1/g' | perl -ne 'chomp ($low,$high) = split(/ /) print (((hex($low)*256)+hex($high))/4/64) print "C\n" ' The open source project Fan Control includes a command line tool that provides fan speed information. It appears no tool, installed by default on OS X, exposes this information through the terminal. In the man page for powermetrics on 10.14.4, I see the following under the Output description section: 'SMC: The smc sampler displays information supplied by the System Management Controller. Since Mac OS X 10.5, you need to use a third party piece of software to access the fan speed information. powermetrics does take a few seconds to generate the fan speed, so let it run until it samples the SMC. The utilities available in the Recovery Mode allows you to restore Mac from Time Machine, reinstall macOS, get help online, and to repair or erase. The macOS recovery is a part of the in-built recovery system of Mac. See the smc manual page for more options. Last but not the least valuable fix for MacBook air not turning on with regular method is to try rebooting Mac into Recovery Mode. You can use smc to get fan speed information via Terminal.app: smc -f You mention in your comments having smcFanControl installed this open source project includes the command line tool smc.
