OK, mid 2011 iMac, 2.5 i5, 21-inch with SL. Wanted to adjust fan control but I think I already screwed up my Terminal commands.

Zed X's instructions are very straightforward (thanks Zed) but I attempted this first without reading to the third page of the fan control post where Zed explained exactly what to do (I'm a first time Terminal user), and now I'm getting a command not found when I try to do it the right way.

I can't tell if the changes I made for downloaded Fan Control worked (32 bit not in title anymore) but I know I didn't do the following commands correctly the first time:

First, you open your terminal.

Then, you type "sudo mv" and drop the extracted FanControlDaemon to the terminal windo and past " /Library/StartupItems/FanControlDaemon/FanControlDaemon" (without "" of course).

Then you just paste each line and press enter:

sudo chmod 0755 /Library/StartupItems/FanControlDaemon/FanControlDaemon

and

sudo chown root:wheel /Library/StartupItems/FanControlDaemon/FanControlDaemon

Do I need to go back into Terminal and erase something before trying this again?

Thanks
