Nice, how do you get your battery temp?

Odd, that seems counter to my experience. The if_match failed when it should have passed, without quotes, if it was matching numbers as you say. I guess we'll find out this evening after the sunset time passes, to see if it successfully switches to the moon image or not.

Ok, I finally tested this

It turns out I was wrong. You can use < > <= >= when comparing text to text. Some texts are greater than others I guess.

you might also want to try strings that cannot be interpreted as Hexidecimal.

Good point.

Let's see what conky says about ${if_match "Crinos512" > "miegiel"}

I've been messing with my conky layout since I switched from XFCE4 to Fluxbox. The main change was making the TV listing in two columns.

A list of all the Bash stuff I use can be found in my public Dropbox. I also have a semi-maintained website with some info about the stuff I use. I still have to do a proper writeup of the date highlighting on my calendar.

Notice that nice "feels like" temperature in the weather section. I was outside earlier. It totally did feel like 0 degrees.

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to display all of the output of: top -u camden in a block on one side of the desktop, configuring conky seems to be beyond me right now.

I'm running boinc.pl to monitor my BOINC projects. It ouputs the project name, the workunit number, percent complete for each workunit, and an indicator if that particular work unit is currently running or not. The problem is each percentage varies between one decimal place to four. Does anyone know of a way to force it to output only two or three decimal places, and to append a 0 when needed?

${exec top -u camden}

Is ugly and probably not what you want. Try this instead :

load = ${loadavg}
${top name 1} (c/m/p) ${goto 170}${top cpu 1}	${goto 220}${top mem 1}		${goto 270}${top pid 1}
${top name 2} ${goto 170}${top cpu 2}	${goto 220}${top mem 2}		${goto 270}${top pid 2}
${top name 3} ${goto 170}${top cpu 3}	${goto 220}${top mem 3}		${goto 270}${top pid 3}

(both should be below the TEXT line in your .conkyrc (just in case))
