How do I change the default ondemand governer to conservative

[Erunur]

I have been trying to change the governer on my laptop from ondemand to conservative on my CPUs using
"echo conservative > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor"

It works but I have to go through and run that command on all my cpus from cpu0 tp cpu7. but the real problem is is that every time I reboot the governer always changes back from conservative to ondemand. Is there a way to make the conservative gonerner the default governer?

Install the "kernel-tools" rpm package.
Read "cpupower help frequency-set"
Then modify the file "/etc/sysconfig/cpupower"
Now enable the service: systemctl enable cpupower.service
And start: systemctl start cpupower.service

Settings should be applied automatically on reboots now.

Btw, you can also shorten your command to a one-liner, just do this instead:
"echo conservative > /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/cpufreq/scaling_governor"

So im new to this but I installed kernel-tools and I read the help page. then I ran cpupower frequency-set -g conservative and that changed the governer right away. then I modified both lines of /etc/sysconfig/cpupower to be conservative ( I wasn't sure which lines to modify so I did both.) then I ran "systemctl enable cpupower.service" followed by "systemctl start cpupower.service". And I rebooted the computer and the governer changed back to ondemand. I'm not sure why its doing that but it's probably something I did to cause that.

If you look through the thread that Dan linked, you'll find a script that I wrote that uses the tools you installed. It belongs in /etc/pm/power.d and does exactly what you want to do. If you use it, be sure to disable the cpupower service so they don't conflict.

Thanks for the script. but I'm still having problems. I dumped the script in /etc/pm.power.d and made it an executable. I changed both governers to be conservative then I ran "pm-powersave false" and it worked just fine but it still won't run by itself on bootup. I know this is kindof a dumb question but would it matter what I name the executaable?
I'm pretty sure cpupower service is off because I ran "systemctl stop cpupower.service" followed by "systemctl disable cpupower.service"

A little off topic here but this is all kinda new to me, what's the difference between online_governer and battery_governer?
