I have been working on a cpu throttling script(no duh).
But I need a commandline version of the cpu throddler program in 4.3.2.
The code is

[amigo]

A couple of obvious problems:
#$/bin/bash
should be:
#!/bin/bash

while $loop = "o" do
should be:
while [ $loop = "0" ] ; do
but since it is an infinte loop you can just do this:
while : ; do

You'll want to put a sleep command in there somewhere, otherwise this loop will run as fast as your processor will let it go. use a sleep to make itstop after checking/adjusting so that it waits some time before checking again. the longer you sleep the less resources this thing will use -probably 5-30 seconds would be adequate

You may need to elimnate the ' C' from the temp measured so taht shell math can really tell if temp is greater than something:
temp=`cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature |cut -f -d' '`
then:
if [ $temp -gt 80 ] ; then

The word is 'throttle' in case you need to search for programs, etc.
