HOWTO: VinDSL Conky Script

[Cavsfan]

I have the same only different.



I don't have header names or the PID as I don't have room. All I had room for was the top 3 processes.
I was just wondering if I could put this in red in what I posted above: (you have to scroll to the right to see the red)

Execi is defined as the same as exec but with specific interval. I just want it updated quicker if possible.

I changed this from 2.0 seconds to 1.0 second.

####
## Update interval in seconds.
#
update_interval 1.0

Which seems to accomplish what I was aiming for. I see no ill effects so I guess I'll roll with it until I do.

I was goiing to suggest that earlier, but it seemed too obvious.....

LoL! haha

I changed it back to 2.0 seconds after I made the change described below because 1 second was freakishly fast.

All this time I was thinking those were the top CPU processes when they were the top MEM processes. So I tweaked the spacing of everything and changed that part to be CPU processes.
I managed to get all top 10 processes in there. I got rid of grub version as that was just taking up space. If I wanted to know that I know how to find out pretty readily.

TOP and MEM conky elements both use the same components. TOP is CPU and MEM is well that is obvious.

I changed it to this:

##################################
##      TOP CPU PROCESSES       ##

${voffset -24}${font DroidSans:bold:size=8}${color4}TOP CPU PROCESSES${offset 8}${color6}${voffset -2}${hr 1}${font}

Now it shows exactly what I wanted to see: the top processes using up the CPU.



Showing my age a little there on that song. Oddly enough my wife doesn't like it but I love it!

[ramakanta]

i am new to the conky . how to make my desktop as like this ?? help me with details procedure . thank you .

[NM5TF]

hello @ramakanta.....

first install conky...

sudo apt-get install conky-all

then, go here to download conkywx program.....select the Debian based distro...

http://foreverquest.blogspot.in/search/label/conkywx

then go here to read about the program & set up/configuration files.....

https://bitbucket.org/plikhari/conkywx_pub/wiki/Home

if you need more help, come back to this forum....

good luck & let us know how it goes for you....

Finally my desktop conky looks like


but I have facing some problem . first my cpu temp show good . after restart today it doesn't show any thing ..

code..
Temprature: ${hwmon 0 temp 1}°C

[NM5TF]

it would be much easier to help if you showed us what your conky.rc code looks like....

Just thought I'd post my latest screen and cool new wallpaper. I'm really surprised how resilient conky is. I'm running 14.10 development version with systemd (you can see that as the last CPU process).
And you can see that it's smoking hot here. Think I have developed heliophobia Went out for a while but indoors in a/c from now on!

I went back to VinDSL's colors because they just look good.

Finally my desktop conky looks like

Temprature: ${hwmon 0 temp 1}°C

For some reason hwmon or platform is not working on some systems - work around

${execi 6 sensors | grep 'Core 0' | sed 's/.*+\(.*\)  \(.*\)/\1/;s/\(.*\)\..*/\1/'}°C

Better solution with sed would be - as we do not need grep in this case

${execi 6 sensors | sed -n '/Core 0/{s/.*:[ ]*+\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p}'}°C

This is for 1st core - change the zero to 1 for 2nd cpu and so on ...
