Conky Configuration Tutorial

apostglen46 · Οκτώβριος 1, 2009

Στον παρακάτω οδηγό θα δούμε τι είναι το conky και πως θα μπορούσαμε να το παραμετροποιήσουμε ώστε να το φέρουμε στα μέτρα μας

Τι είναι το conky?

Είναι ενα ελεύθερο , ελαφρύ system monitor για την παρακολούθηση των λειτουργειών του Χ στην επιφάνεια εργασίας σας. Ειναι ελεύθερο λογισμικό που τρέχει στο Χ σε *NIX και *BSD based συστήματα.

Ας το γνωρίσουμε λίγο καλύτερα..

Αρχικα ο κώδικας του βρισκόταν υπο την άδεια χρήσης του BSD foundation ενώ ο νέος του κώδικας τίθεται υπό την άδεια χρήσης GPL 3.0. Από την έναρξη του project μέχρι σήμερα, το Conky έχει αλλάξει σημαντικά από τον προκάτοχό του, διατηρώντας ταυτόχρονα την απλότητα και την παραμετροποίηση ως κύρια χαρακτηριστικά του.Με το conky μπορείται να εμφανίσεται στο desktop σας σχεδόν τα πάντα , είτε ενσωματομένα στην επιφάνεια εργασίας, είτε σε δικό του παράθυρο μεμονομένα. Έχει αρκετά built-in αντικείμενα, αλλά μπορεί επίσης να χρησιμοποιήσει scripts και άλλα εξωτερικά προγράμματα για την εμφάνιση κάθε είδους πληροφορίας.

Παρόλο που το Conky είχε σχεδιαστεί αρχικά για το Χ, οι νεότερες εκδόσεις μπορούν επίσης να χρησιμοποιηθούν για να αποθηκεύσουν πληροφορίες σε αρχεία καταγραφής(log files), απεικόνιση σε GNU οθόνες κ.α.

Το όνομα του προέρχεται από ένα χαρακτήρα μιας παράστασης της καναδικής τηλεόρασης με τίτλο "Trailer Park Boys". Περισσότερες πληροφορίες σχετικά με την παράσταση μπορείτε να βρείτε στο άρθρο της Wikipedia.

Περιέχει πάνω απο 250 built-in αντικείμενα συμπεριλαμβανομένου της υποστήριξης

πληθώρας στατιστικών για το OS (uname, uptime, CPU usage, mem usage, disk usage, "top" like process stats, network monitoring κ.α.)
υποστήριξη IMAP και POP3
υποστήριξη για πολλά δημοφιλή προγράμματα αναπαραγωγής μουσικής (MPD, XMMS2, BMPx, Audacious)

Για την αναπαράσταση των πληροφοριών μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν progress bars , γραφήματα , διαφορετικά χρώματα και fonts ώστε οποιοσδήποτε να μπορεί να φτάσει σε ενα εικονικό αποτέλεσμα που να το ικανοποιεί.

Αρχείο ρυθμίσεων - Configuration File

Όλες αυτές οι πληροφορίες αποθηκεύονται σε ένα αρχείο με όνομα .conkyrc που βρίσκεται μέσα στο /home/user φάκελο του συστήματος σας. (εάν δεν το βλέπεται ειναι λόγο του οτι είναι κρυφό - αυτο υποδηλώνει και η τελεία μπροστά απο το όνομα του.Για να το δείτε πρέπει μεσα απο την κονσολα να δώσεται ls -lf η αλλιώς απο περιβάλλον gnome να πατήσεται τον συνδιασμό των πλήκτρων ctrl+h.Παρακάτω θα δούμε πως μπορούμε να δημιουργήσουμε ενα τέτοιο αρχείο , μέχρι τότε όμως μπορούμε να σώσουμε στο home μας έτοιμα configuration files με το όνομα .conkyrc

Πώς θα εγκαταστήσω το conky?

Ανάλογα με την διανομή :

Για debian/ubuntu: sudo apt-get install conky
Για gentoo : emerge conky ή paludis -i conky
Για Arch : pacman -S conky (ως root)

Ας αναλύσουμε ενα configuration file.

Variable Explanation
TEXT After this begins text to be formatted on screen. Backslash (\) escapes newlines in the text section. This can be useful for cleaning up config files where conky is used to pipe input to dzen2.

alignment Aligned position on screen, may be top_left, top_right, top_middle, bottom_left, bottom_right, bottom_middle, middle_left, middle_right, or none (also can be abreviated as tl, tr, tm, bl, br, bm, ml, mr). See also gap_x and gap_y.

append_file Append the file given as argument.

background Boolean value, if true, Conky will be forked to background when started.

border_inner_margin Inner border margin in pixels (the margin between the border and text).

border_outer_margin Outer border margin in pixels (the margin between the border and the edge of the window).

border_width Border width in pixels.

colorN Predefine a color for use inside TEXT segments. Substitute N by a digit between 0 and 9, inclusively. When specifying the color value in hex, omit the leading hash (#).

cpu_avg_samples The number of samples to average for CPU monitoring.

default_bar_size Specify a default width and height for bars. Example: 'default_bar_size 0 6'. This is particularly useful for execbar and execibar as they do not take size arguments.

default_color Default color and border color

default_gauge_size Specify a default width and height for gauges. Example: 'default_gauge_size 25 25'. This is particularly useful for execgauge and execigauge as they do not take size arguments

default_graph_size Specify a default width and height for graphs. Example: 'default_graph_size 0 25'. This is particularly useful for execgraph and execigraph as they do not take size arguments

default_outline_color Default outline color

default_shade_color Default shading color and border's shading color

diskio_avg_samples The number of samples to average for disk I/O monitoring.

display Specify an X display to connect to.

double_buffer Use the Xdbe extension? (eliminates flicker) It is highly recommended to use own window with this one so double buffer won't be so big.

draw_borders Draw borders around text?

draw_graph_borders Draw borders around graphs?

draw_outline Draw outlines?

draw_shades Draw shades?

extra_newline Put an extra newline at the end when writing to stdout, useful for writing to awesome's wiboxes.

font Font name in X, xfontsel can be used to get a nice font

format_human_readable If enabled, values which are in bytes will be printed in human readable format (i.e., KiB, MiB, etc). If disabled, the number of bytes is printed instead.

gap_x Gap, in pixels, between right or left border of screen, same as passing -x at command line, e.g. gap_x 10. For other position related stuff, see 'alignment'.

gap_y Gap, in pixels, between top or bottom border of screen, same as passing -y at command line, e.g. gap_y 10. For other position related stuff, see 'alignment'.

if_up_strictness How strict should if_up be when testing an interface for being up? The value is one of up, link or address, to check for the interface being solely up, being up and having link or being up, having link and an assigned IP address.

imap Default global IMAP server. Arguments are: "host user pass [-i interval (in seconds)] [-f folder] [-p port] [-e command] [-r retries]". Default port is 143, default folder is 'INBOX', default interval is 5 minutes, and default number of retries before giving up is 5. If the password is supplied as '*', you will be prompted to enter the password when Conky starts.

imlib_cache_flush_interval Interval (in seconds) to flush Imlib2 cache.

imlib_cache_size

Imlib2 image cache size, in bytes. Defaults to 4MiB. Increase this value if you use $image lots. Set to 0 to disable the image cache.
lua_draw_hook_post

This function, if defined, will be called by Conky through each iteration after drawing to the window. Requires X support. Takes any number of optional arguments. Use this hook for drawing things on top of what Conky draws. Conky puts 'conky_' in front of function_name to prevent accidental calls to the wrong function unless you place 'conky_' in front of it yourself.
lua_draw_hook_pre

This function, if defined, will be called by Conky through each iteration before drawing to the window. Requires X support. Takes any number of optional arguments. Use this hook for drawing things on top of what Conky draws. Conky puts 'conky_' in front of function_name to prevent accidental calls to the wrong function unless you place 'conky_' in front of it yourself.
lua_load Loads the Lua scripts separated by spaces.

mail_spool Mail spool for mail checking

max_port_monitor_connections Allow each port monitor to track at most this many connections (if 0 or not set, default is 256)

max_specials Maximum number of special things, e.g. fonts, offsets, aligns, etc. (default is 512)

max_user_text Maximum size of user text buffer, i.e. layout below TEXT line in config file (default is 16384 bytes)

maximum_width Maximum width of window

minimum_size Minimum size of window

mpd_host Host of MPD server

mpd_password MPD server password

mpd_port Port of MPD server

music_player_interval Music player thread update interval (defaults to Conky's update interval)

net_avg_samples The number of samples to average for net data

no_buffers Substract (file system) buffers from used memory?

out_to_console Print text to stdout.

out_to_stderr Print text to stderr.

out_to_x When set to no, there will be no output in X (useful when you also use things like out_to_console). If you set it to no, make sure that it's placed before all other X-related setting (take the first line of your configfile to be sure). Default value is yes

override_utf8_locale Force UTF8? requires XFT

overwrite_file Overwrite the file given as argument.

own_window Boolean, create own window to draw?

own_window_class Manually set the WM_CLASS name. Defaults to "Conky".

own_window_colour If own_window_transparent no, set a specified background colour (defaults to black). Takes either a hex value (#ffffff) or a valid RGB name (see /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt)

own_window_hints If own_window is yes, you may use these window manager hints to affect the way Conky displays. Notes: Use own_window_type desktop as another way to implement many of these hints implicitly. If you use own_window_type override, window manager hints have no meaning and are ignored.

own_window_title Manually set the window name. Defaults to "<hostname> - conky".

own_window_transparent Boolean, set pseudo-transparency?

own_window_type if own_window is yes, you may specify type normal, desktop, dock, panel or override (default: normal). Desktop windows are special windows that have no window decorations; are always visible on your desktop; do not appear in your pager or taskbar; and are sticky across all workspaces. Panel windows reserve space along a desktop edge, just like panels and taskbars, preventing maximized windows from overlapping them. The edge is chosen based on the alignment option. Override windows are not under the control of the window manager. Hints are ignored. This type of window can be useful for certain situations.

pad_percents Pad percentages to this many decimals (0 = no padding)

pop3 Default global POP3 server. Arguments are: "host user pass [-i interval (in seconds)] [-p port] [-e command] [-r retries]". Default port is 110, default interval is 5 minutes, and default number of retries before giving up is 5. If the password is supplied as '*', you will be prompted to enter the password when Conky starts.

short_units Shortens units to a single character (kiB->k, GiB->G, etc.). Default is off.

show_graph_range Shows the time range covered by a graph.

show_graph_scale Shows the maximum value in scaled graphs.

stippled_borders Border stippling (dashing) in pixels

temperature_unit Desired output unit of all objects displaying a temperature. Parameters are either "fahrenheit" or "celsius". The default unit is degree Celsius.

templateN Define a template for later use inside TEXT segments. Substitute N by a digit between 0 and 9, inclusively. The value of the variable is being inserted into the stuff below TEXT at the corresponding position, but before some substitutions are applied:

* '\n' -> newline
* '\\' -> backslash
* '\ ' -> space
* '\N' -> template argument N

text_buffer_size Size of the standard text buffer (default is 256 bytes). This buffer is used for intermediary text, such as individual lines, output from $exec vars, and various other variables. Increasing the size of this buffer can drastically reduce Conky's performance, but will allow for more text display per variable. The size of this buffer cannot be smaller than the default value of 256 bytes.

top_cpu_separate If true, cpu in top will show usage of one processor's power. If false, cpu in top will show the usage of all processors' power combined.

top_name_width Width for $top name value (defaults to 15 characters).

total_run_times Total number of times for Conky to update before quitting. Zero makes Conky run forever

update_interval Update interval in seconds

uppercase Boolean value, if true, text is rendered in upper case

use_spacer Adds spaces around certain objects to stop them from moving other things around. Arguments are left, right, and none (default). The old true/false values are deprecated and default to right/none respectively. Note that this only helps if you are using a mono font, such as Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.

use_xft Use Xft (anti-aliased font and stuff)

xftalpha Alpha of Xft font. Must be a value at or between 1 and 0.

xftfont Xft font to use.

If scale is non-zero, it becomes the scale for the graph. Uses a logarithmic scale (to see small numbers) when you use -l switch. Takes the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient, which makes the gradient values change depending on the amplitude of a particular graph value (try it and see).

diskiograph_read 	(device) (height),(width) (gradient colour 1) (gradient colour 2) (scale) (-t) (-l) 	Disk IO graph for reads, colours defined in hex, minus the #. If scale is non-zero, it becomes the scale for the graph. Device as in diskio. Uses a logarithmic scale (to see small numbers) when you use -l switch. Takes the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient, which makes the gradient values change depending on the amplitude of a particular graph value (try it and see).

diskiograph_write 	(device) (height),(width) (gradient colour 1) (gradient colour 2) (scale) (-t) (-l) 	Disk IO graph for writes, colours defined in hex, minus the #. If scale is non-zero, it becomes the scale for the graph. Device as in diskio. Uses a logarithmic scale (to see small numbers) when you use -l switch.

Takes the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient, which makes the gradient values change depending on the amplitude of a particular graph value (try it and see).

draft_mails 	(maildir) 	Number of mails marked as draft in the specified mailbox or mail spool if not. Only maildir type mailboxes are supported, mbox type will return -1.

else 		Text to show if any of the above are not true

endif 		Ends an $if block.

entropy_avail 		Current entropy available for crypto freaks

entropy_bar 	(height),(width) 	Normalized bar of available entropy for crypto freaks

entropy_perc 		Percentage of entropy available in comparison to the poolsize

entropy_poolsize 		Total size of system entropy pool for crypto freaks

eval 	string 	Evalutates given string according to the rules of TEXT interpretation, i.e. parsing any contained text object specifications into their output, any occuring '$$' into a single '$' and so on. The output is then being parsed again.

eve 	api_userid api_key character_id 	Fetches your currently training skill from the Eve Online API servers (http://www.eve-online.com/) and displays the skill along with the remaining training time.

exec 	command 	Executes a shell command and displays the output in conky. warning: this takes a lot more resources than other variables. I'd recommend coding wanted behaviour in C and posting a patch.

execbar 	command 	Same as exec, except if the first value return is a value between 0-100, it will use that number for a bar. The size for bars can be controlled via the default_bar_size config setting.

execgauge 	command 	Same as exec, except if the first value returned is a value between 0-100, it will use that number for a gauge. The size for gauges can be controlled via the default_gauge_size config setting.

execgraph 	(-t) (-l) command 	Same as execbar, but graphs values. Uses a logaritmic scale when the log option (-l switch) is given (to see small numbers). Values still have to be between 0 and 100. The size for graphs can be controlled via the default_graph_size config setting. Takes the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient, which makes the gradient values change depending on the amplitude of a particular graph value (try it and see). If -t or -l is your first argument, you may need to preceed it by a space (' ').

execi 	interval command 	Same as exec but with specific interval. Interval can't be less than update_interval in configuration. See also $texeci

execibar 	interval command 	Same as execbar, except with an interval

execigauge 	interval command 	Same as execgauge, but takes an interval arg and gauges values.

execigraph 	interval (-t) (-l) command 	Same as execgraph, but takes an interval arg and graphs values. If -t or -l is your first argument, you may need to preceed it by a space (' ').

execp 	command 	Executes a shell command and displays the output in conky. warning: this takes a lot more resources than other variables. I'd recommend coding wanted behaviour in C and posting a patch. This differs from $exec in that it parses the output of the command, so you can insert things like ${color red}hi!${color} in your script and have it correctly parsed by Conky. Caveats: Conky parses and evaluates the output of $execp every time Conky loops, and then destroys all the objects. If you try to use anything like $execi within an $execp statement, it will functionally run at the same interval that the $execp statement runs, as it is created and destroyed at every interval.

execpi 	interval command 	Same as execp but with specific interval. Interval can't be less than update_interval in configuration. Note that the output from the $execpi command is still parsed and evaluated at every interval.

image 	<path to image> (-p x,y) (-s WxH) (-n) (-f interval) 	Renders an image from the path specified using Imlib2. Takes 4 optional arguments: a position, a size, a no-cache switch, and a cache flush interval. Changing the x,y position will move the position of the image, and changing the WxH will scale the image. If you specify the no-cache flag (-n), the image will not be cached. Alternately, you can specify the -f int switch to specify a cache flust interval for a particular image. Example: ${image /home/brenden/cheeseburger.jpg -p 20,20 -s 200x200} will render 'cheeseburger.jpg' at (20,20) scaled to 200x200 pixels. Conky does not make any attempt to adjust the position (or any other formatting) of images, they are just rendered as per the arguments passed. The only reason $image is part of the TEXT section, is to allow for runtime modifications, through $execp $lua_parse, or some other method.

imap_messages 	(args) 	Displays the number of messages in your global IMAP inbox by default. You can define individual IMAP inboxes seperately by passing arguments to this object.

If the password is supplied as '*', you will be prompted to enter the password when Conky starts.

imap_unseen 	(args) 	Displays the number of unseen messages in your global IMAP inbox by default. You can define individual IMAP inboxes seperately by passing arguments to this object. Arguments are: "host user pass [-i interval (in seconds)] [-f folder] [-p port] [-e command] [-r retries]". Default port is 143, default folder is 'INBOX', default interval is 5 minutes, and default number of retries before giving up is 5. If the password is supplied as '*', you will be prompted to enter the password when Conky starts.

Platform type is either 'in' or 'vol' meaning voltage; 'fan' meaning fan; 'temp' meaning temperature. Parameter n is number of the sensor. See /sys/bus/platform/devices/ on your local computer. The optional arguments 'factor' and 'offset' allow precalculation of the raw input, which is being modified as follows: 'input = input * factor + offset'. Note that they have to be given as decimal values (i.e. contain at least one decimal place).

pop3_unseen 	(args) 	Displays the number of unseen messages in your global POP3 inbox by default. You can define individual POP3 inboxes seperately by passing arguments to this object.

tcp_portmon 	port_begin port_end item (index) 	

TCP port monitor for specified local ports. Port numbers must be in the range 1 to 65535. Valid items are:

    * count - Total number of connections in the range
    * rip - Remote ip address
    * rhost - Remote host name
    * rport - Remote port number
    * rservice - Remote service name from /etc/services
    * lip - Local ip address
    * lhost - Local host name
    * lport - Local port number
    * lservice - Local service name from /etc/services

The connection index provides you with access to each connection in the port monitor. The monitor will return information for index values from 0 to n-1 connections. Values higher than n-1 are simply ignored. For the "count" item, the connection index must be omitted. It is required for all other items.

Examples:

    * ${tcp_portmon 6881 6999 count} - Displays the number of connections in the bittorrent port range
    * ${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 0} - Displays the remote host ip of the first sshd connection
    * ${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 9} - Displays the remote host ip of the tenth sshd connection
    * ${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rhost 0} - Displays the remote host name of the first connection on a privileged port
    * ${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rport 4} - Displays the remote host port of the fifth connection on a privileged port
    * ${tcp_portmon 1 65535 lservice 14} - Displays the local service name of the fifteenth connection in the range of all ports

Note that port monitor variables which share the same port range actually refer to the same monitor, so many references to a single port range for different items and different indexes all use the same monitor internally. In other words, the program avoids creating redundant monitors.
templateN 	(arg1) 	

Evaluate the content of the templateN configuration variable (where N is a value between 0 and 9, inclusively), applying substitutions as described in the documentation of the corresponding configuration variable. The number of arguments is optional, but must match the highest referred index in the template. You can use the same special sequences in each argument as the ones valid for a template definition, e.g. to allow an argument to contain a whitespace. Also simple nesting of templates is possible this way.

Here are some examples of template definitions:

    * template0 $\1\2
    * template1 \1: ${fs_used \2} / ${fs_size \2}
    * template2 \1 \2

The following list shows sample usage of the templates defined above, with the equivalent syntax when not using any template at all:
using template same without template ${template0 node name} $nodename ${template1 root /} root: ${fs_free /} / ${fs_size /} ${template1 ${template2\ disk\ root} /} disk root: ${fs_free /} / ${fs_size /}
texeci 	interval command 	Runs a command at an interval inside a thread and displays the output. Same as $execi, except the command is run inside a thread. Use this if you have a slow script to keep Conky updating. You should make the interval slightly longer then the time it takes your script to execute. For example, if you have a script that take 5 seconds to execute, you should make the interval at least 6 seconds. See also $execi. This object will clean up the thread when it is destroyed, so it can safely be used in a nested fashion, though it may not produce the desired behaviour if used this way.

time 	(format) 	Local time, see man strftime to get more information about format

to_bytes 	size 	If 'size' is a number followed by a size-unit (kilobyte,mb,GiB,...) then it converts the size to bytes and shows it without unit, otherwise it just shows 'size'.

upspeed 	(net) 	Upload speed in suitable IEC units

upspeedf 	(net) 	Upload speed in KiB with one decimal

upspeedgraph 	(netdev) (height),(width) (gradient colour 1) (gradient colour 2) (scale) (-t) (-l) 	Upload speed graph, colours defined in hex, minus the #. If scale is non-zero, it becomes the scale for the graph. Uses a logarithmic scale (to see small numbers) when you use the -l switch. Takes the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient, which makes the gradient values change depending on the amplitude of a particular graph value (try it and see).

uptime 		Uptime

uptime_short 		Uptime in a shorter format

user_names 		Lists the names of the users logged in

user_number 		Number of users logged in

user_terms 		Lists the consoles in use

user_times 		Lists how long users have been logged in for

utime 	(format) 	Display time in UTC (universal coordinate time).

voffset 	(pixels) 	Change vertical offset by N pixels. Negative values will cause text to overlap. See also $offset.

voltage_mv 	(n) 	Returns CPU #n's voltage in mV. CPUs are counted from 1. If omitted, the parameter defaults to 1.

voltage_v 	(n) 	Returns CPU #n's voltage in V. CPUs are counted from 1. If omitted, the parameter defaults to 1.

weather 	URI locID data_type (interval_in_minutes) 	

Download, parse and display METAR data.

For the 'URI', there are two possibilities:

    * http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/stations/
    * http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/

The first one is free to use but the second requires you to register and obtain your partner ID and license key. These two must be written, separated by a space, into a file called .xoaprc which needs to be placed into your home directory.

'locID' must be a valid location identifier for the required uri. For the NOAA site this must be a valid ICAO (see for instance https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/qryhtml/icao/). For the weather.com site this must be a valid location ID (see for instance http://aspnetresources.com/tools/locid.aspx).

'data_type' must be one of the following:

    * last_update -

      The date and time stamp of the data. The result depends on the URI used. For the NOAA site it is date (yyyy/mm/dd) and UTC time. For the weather.com one it is date ([m]m/[d]d/yy) and Local Time of the station.
    * temperature -

      Air temperature (you can use the 'temperature_unit' config setting to change units)
    * cloud_cover -

      The highest cloud cover status
    * pressure -

      Air pressure in millibar
    * wind_speed -

      Wind speed in km/h
    * wind_dir -

      Wind direction
    * wind_dir_DEG -

      Compass wind direction
    * humidity -

      Relative humidity in %
    * weather -

      Any relevant weather event (rain, snow, etc.). This is not used if you are querying the weather.com site since this data is aggregated into the cloud_cover one

'delay_in_minutes' (optional, default 30) cannot be less than 30 minutes.

This object is threaded, and once a thread is created it can't be explicitely destroyed. One thread will run for each URI specified.

Note that these variables are still EXPERIMENTAL and can be subject to many future changes.

Πώς θα 'τρέξω' το conky με το δικο μου αρχείο ρυθμίσεων που μπορεί και να μην ειναι στο /home?

Δίνοντας στην κονσόλα:

conky -c /path/blabla/blablabla/configurationfile &

όπου /path/blabla/blablabla/ το μονοπάτι που είναι αποθηκευμένο το configuration file μας.

Μπορώ να χρησιμοποιήσω παραπάνω απο έναν conky ?

φυσικά και μπορώ! αλλά για να μην κάνω την ζωή μου δύσκολη φτιάχνω ενα scriptακι που να τα ανοίγει όλα απο να το κάνω χειροκίνητα.

ανoίγω τον text editor που χτησιμοποιω - (vi , nano , pico , gedit , emacs , etc..) και κάνω copy-paste τα παρακάτω


#!/bin/bash
conky -c ~/path/conkyrc_1 &
conky -c ~/path/conkyrc_2 &
conky -c ~/path/conkyrc_3 &
conky -c ~/path/conkyrc_4 &
conky -c ~/path/conkyrc_5 &
....
conky -c ~/path/conkyrc_X &

στην συνέχεια το αποθηκεύω ως conky_start

Για να το κανω εκτελέσιμο δίνω στην κονσολα

chmod +X /path/conky_start

Screenshots απο διάφορα configuration files

http://conky.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/search.php

επισυνάπτω το configuration file και τα scripts που χρησιμοποιω τώρα:

thelab-conkyrc.zip

ευχαριστώ για την ανάγνωση του άρθρου και ελπίζω να μην σας κουρασα :upside:

Όποιος θέλει μπορεί να επισυναψει και το δικο του conky μαζι με ενα screenshot και λιγα λογακια γι'αυτο

ώστε μελλοντικά να μπορούμε να ανταλλάσουμε ιδέες για τις δημιουργίες μας..

Γενικά είναι βασισμένο σε ένα άλλο config αλλά δεν θυμάμαι απο ποιό φόρουμ το είχα βρει, νομίζω του Arch-linux.

Κάτι που πρέπει να σχολιάσω είναι το script για τον καιρό:

#!/bin/sh
#AccuWeather (r) RSS weather tool for conky
#
#USAGE: weather.sh <locationcode>
#
#(c) Michael Seiler 2007

METRIC=1 #Should be 0 or 1; 0 for F, 1 for C

if [ -z $1 ]; then
    echo
    echo "USAGE: weather.sh <locationcode>"
    echo
    exit 0;
fi

curl -s http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp\?metric\=${METRIC}\&locCode\=$1 | perl -ne 'if (/Currently/) {chomp;/\<title\>Currently: (.*)?\<\/title\>/; print "$1"; }'

είναι γραμμένο για laptop (γι'αυτο θα παρατηρήσετε και το CPUFREQ) και πρέπει να έχετε εγκατεστημένα τα lm-sensors (για την θερμοκρασία) και PERL για το script του καιρού.

Επειδή ήθελα ένα system monitor και το λαπτοπ δεν είναι και της τελευταίας γενεάς ξαναγύρισα στο conky που το είχα παρατήσει μετά την εγκατάσταση των ubuntu 10.04.

.draw_bg.lua


--[[
Background by londonali1010 (2009)

This script draws a background to the Conky window. It covers the whole of the Conky window, but you can specify rounded corners, if you wish.

To call this script in Conky, use (assuming you have saved this script to ~/scripts/):
	lua_load ~/.scripts/draw_bg.lua
	lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg

Changelog:
+ v1.0 -- Original release (07.10.2009)
]]

-- Change these settings to affect your background.
-- "corner_r" is the radius, in pixels, of the rounded corners. If you don't want rounded corners, use 0.

corner_r=20

-- Set the colour and transparency (alpha) of your background.

bg_colour=0x4D4D4D
bg_alpha=0.40

require 'cairo'
function rgb_to_r_g_b(colour,alpha)
	return ((colour / 0x10000) % 0x100) / 255., ((colour / 0x100) % 0x100) / 255., (colour % 0x100) / 255., alpha
end

function conky_draw_bg()
	if conky_window==nil then return end
	local w=conky_window.width
	local h=conky_window.height
	local cs=cairo_xlib_surface_create(conky_window.display, conky_window.drawable, conky_window.visual, w, h)

debupdates.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Conky script for displaying available updates
# in Debian. This script assumes you are in the
# sudo group and require no password for root
# access. Add something as such to your conkyrc:
#${color}APT: ${color D7D3C5}${execi 28800 ~/bin/debupdates.sh} 

sudo apt-get -qy update > /dev/null
NUMOFUPDATES=$(aptitude search "~U" | wc -l)
echo $NUMOFUPDATES Updates Available

Αντί για το παραπάνω shell script μπορείς να χρησιμοποιήσεις 2 εντολές μέσα στο conkyrc.

${execi 28800 sudo apt-get update > /dev/null}
Updates: ${execi 28800 echo `aptitude search "~U" | wc -l`}

Νομίζω ότι από θέμα resources είναι καλύτερα, και δεν έχεις και dependencies
