10 conky \- A system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code, but more kickass. It just keeps on given'er. Yeah.

23 Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code.
24 Since it's original conception, Conky has changed a fair bit from it's predecessor.
25 Conky can display just about anything, either on your root desktop or in it's own window.
26 Conky has many built-in objects, as well as the ability to execute programs and scripts,
27 then display the output from stdout.
29 We are always looking for help, and anyone interested in becoming a developer is welcome.
30 Please use the facilities at SourceForge to make bug reports, feature requests, and submit patches.
32 Thanks for your interest in Conky.
34 For users compiling from source, make sure you have the X development libraries installed.
35 This should be a package along the lines of "libx11-dev or xorg-x11-dev".
37 Gentoo users -- Conky is in Gentoo's Portage... simply use "emerge app-admin/conky" for installation.
38 There is also usually an up-to-date ebuild within Conky's package or in Svn.
40 Debian,etc. users -- Conky will be in Debian's repositories soon (by mid-September, hopefully), and then
41 Ubuntu shortly thereafter. Until then, "dpkg -i" the .deb package to install.
43 Example to compile and run Conky with all optional components (note that some configure options may differ for your system):

55 Conky probably doesn't compile with compilers other than gcc and icc.
56 It doesn't compile with C89 compiler and not even with pure C99.
57 It uses a few things that might not exist: strdup(), strcasecmp(), strncasecmp(),
58 optarg variable with getopt() and long long (not in C89). Crashes in file system
59 statistics stuff when compiled with icc, I don't know exactly why.
61 You can disable 'drawing to own window' feature in case you don't need it by passing
62 --disable-own-window to configure -script.
65 Conky is generally very good on resources. However, certain objects in
66 Conky are harder on resources then others. In particular, the $tail,
67 $top, $font, and $graph objects are quite costly in comparison to the rest of Conky.
69 If you do use them, please do not complain about memory or CPU usage,
70 unless you think something's seriously wrong (mem leak, etc.).
72 An easy way to force Conky to reload your ~/.conkyrc: "killall -SIGUSR1 conky".
73 Saves you the trouble of having to kill and then restart.
75 IMPORTANT: For previous Conky users, Conky 1.3 no longer supports the metar stuff.
76 mdsplib was causing way too many problems. Hopefully there'll be a better solution in Conky 2.x...

376 \fB\*(T<\fBxftalpha\fR\*(T>\fR

1053 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.

1073 displays the local service name of the fifteenth connection in the range of all ports
1075 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.
1077 \fB\*(T<\fBtexeci\fR\*(T>\fR \*(T<\fBinterval command\fR\*(T>

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.

1278 Drawing to root or some other desktop window directly doesn't work with
1279 all window managers. Especially doesn't work well with Gnome and it has
1280 been reported that it doesn't work with KDE either. Nautilus can be
1281 disabled from drawing to desktop with program gconf-editor. Uncheck
1282 show_desktop in /apps/nautilus/preferences/. There is -w switch in Conky
1283 to set some specific window id. You might find xwininfo -tree useful to
1284 find the window to draw to. You can also use -o argument which makes
1285 Conky to create its own window.
