my conky scripts

Conky is a lightweight system monitoring tool for linux. Fortunately, it’s config is not rocket-science, but it can lead to a quite comlicated script.

I made a .conky folder in my home, and created 5 files, for the different purpose conky windows. I needed this to be able to set different referesh time – I don’t want to read the disk temperature every 1 sec, instead of the clock, which obviously needs refresh every sec.

I also created a conky_start script with the following content:

#!/bin/bash
conky -c /home/foo/.conky/conky_clock -d
conky -c /home/foo/.conky/conky_sys -d
conky -c /home/foo/.conky/conky_hdd -d
conky -c /home/foo/.conky/conky_io -d
conky -c /home/foo/.conky/conky_net -d

So it starts all conky configs in daemon mode, in the background.

These are the lines, that are the same in every individual conky config, lets call it the common part!
