How to cause Macs Fan Control to start on boot

Post by eswenson »

I'm running Macs Fan Control on an iMac with the latest macOS release. How do I configure it so that it starts automatically on system boot?  I've checked the preferences and already have "Autostart minimized with system".  However, if I boot the system (and another user logs in, for example), Macs Fan Control is not started and my fan runs at max speed.  When I login, of course, Macs Fan Control runs, and everything is fine. But there are times when I'm not around and my wife uses the machine. Upon reboot, she's left with a fan running at max speed.  

Is there an option or a command I can place in the various system /Library/LaunchAgents or /Library/LaunchDaemons or /System/Library variants to launch this automatically on machine boot?
