Looks like an attempt to register and start thinkfan with the old init
system. Is this appropriate for your system ?

If you really use sysV init rather than systemd, you should check whether
there are links
  /etc/rc*.d/*thinkfan
pointing to file
  /etc/init.d/thinkfan

If you use systemd, then there is the riddle why there is an executable
file /etc/init.d/thinkfan.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The script
  https://sources.debian.net/src/thinkfan/0.9.3-1/rcscripts/thinkfan.init
when run with argument "start" executes

  start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/thinkfan.pid --exec /usr/sbin/thinkfan

So

  ps -ef | grep thinkfan

should tell whether the daemon is running or whether you have to start
it on your own (most probably as superuser).


Have a nice day :)
