1580 <option>port_begin port_end item (index)</option>
1581 <emphasis>(ip4 only at present)</emphasis>
1584 TCP port monitor for specified local ports. Port numbers must be in the range 1 to 65535. Valid items are:
1586 <member><command>count</command> - total number of connections in the range
1588 <member><command>rip</command> - remote ip address
1590 <member><command>rhost</command> - remote host name
1592 <member><command>rport</command> - remote port number
1594 <member><command>rservice</command> - remote service name from /etc/services
1596 <member><command>lip</command> - local ip address
1598 <member><command>lhost</command> - local host name
1600 <member><command>lport</command> - local port number
1602 <member><command>lservice</command> - local service name from /etc/services
1604 </simplelist>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.
1606 <member>Examples:</member>
1607 <member><command>${tcp_portmon 6881 6999 count}</command> -
1608 displays the number of connections in the bittorrent port range</member>
1609 <member><command>${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 0}</command> -
1610 displays the remote host ip of the first sshd connection</member>
1611 <member><command>${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 9}</command> -
1612 displays the remote host ip of the tenth sshd connection</member>
1613 <member><command>${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rhost 0}</command> -
1614 displays the remote host name of the first connection on a privileged port</member>
1615 <member><command>${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rport 4}</command> -
1616 displays the remote host port of the fifth connection on a privileged port</member>
1617 <member><command>${tcp_portmon 1 65535 lservice 14}</command> -
1618 displays the local service name of the fifteenth connection in the range of all ports</member>
1619 </simplelist>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.
1625 <command><option>texeci</option></command>
1626 <option>interval command</option>
1629 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.
