the buggy BIOS of my motherboard sets the cpu fan to full speed on
power-on, but leaves it alone on reboot.
I must use fancontrol to avoid getting mad for the noise.  but when I
reboot (e.g. to boot windows) fancontrol gets killed and restores fan
to full speed.
This is necessary to restore the speed of the fan, because there is too 
much risk of burning your CPU if you leave the fan speed low and 
uncontroled, which is the case when fancontrol is killed.

If you need to control your fan speed under Windows, use a software 
under Windows to do that.

I wish there was a way to disable that behaviour.
There is a way, but it won't be supported by Debian and by the upstream 
for the reason explained above, even as an option. Please also note that 
your request is very specific, so I suggest you either to use a Windows 
software to control the fan speed, or to modify fancontrol by yourself.

Bye,
Aurelien
