command-line option to turn on/off cooler-boost

[KAGEYAM4]

can you please add command-line option for cooler-boost, i want to trigger cooler-boost when upgrading system as temps reaches 100 Celcius. FanControl is not working on my device correctly.

I would also like this feature, I guess a complete cli would be even better though. If I find the courage maybe I'll make a PR myself (If I could at least have a green light that the maintainer could be interested in a cli feature).

Unfortunately, right now I don’t have much time to actively work on the project. Pull requests are welcome :)

#162 started working on it

FWIW until the project supports it, my fork has a cooler boost CLI, I also made an aur package.

I use the following to achieve this through CLI:
busctl call mcontrolcenter.helper /msi_ec BeardOverflow.msi_ec getCoolerBoost
busctl call mcontrolcenter.helper /msi_ec BeardOverflow.msi_ec setCoolerBoost b "true"
busctl call mcontrolcenter.helper /msi_ec BeardOverflow.msi_ec setCoolerBoost b "false"

maybe it helps?

a simpler and way more direct way would be to just write on to /sys/devices/platform/msi-ec/cooler_boost

i'll close the issue for now as i don't have any plans to add support for command line options for the time being, but i'd consider it in the future.
