[PACKAGE REQUEST] could you add smx8fancontrol

[alber70g]

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this request.

To change the fan speeds on a SuperMicro X8 board (I have X8DTL-iF) there's a tool smx8fancontrol

Now there's a few deps that are needed and it's a pain to install them on UnRaid. So far this has been my script to get it to run:

# https://www.ikus-soft.com/en/blog/2017-10-01-supermicro-x8-controle-ventilateur/
# install smx8fancontrol on unraid
# install nerd-pack and enable `python3` and `pip`

# install smbus2
pip install smbus2

# get the script
sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/smx8fancontrol \

# make it executable
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/smx8fancontrol 

# trigger i2c module
modprobe i2c-dev modprobe

# run it
./usr/local/bin/smx8fancontrol 

# change it (20% fan speed at 20 degrees celcius)
smx8fancontrol -m smart -p 20,30,40,50,60,70,90 -t 20,25,30,35,40,35,50 -H 2
