Hi Guys & Happy New Year!

Talking of New Year, I was w0ndering if there was a way of using vnstat to display yearly usage? At the moment I am using:-

${execi 300 vnstat -m | grep "`date +"%b '%y"`" | awk '{print $3 $4}'}${goto 696}${color 32AFFE}${execi 300 vnstat -m | grep "`date +"%b '%y"`" | awk '{print $6 $7}'}${goto 750}${color 32AFFE}${execi 300 vnstat -m | grep "`date +"%b '%y"`" | awk '{print $9 $10}'}

to display monthly usage (down, up & total), but to be honest, I nicked this from someone else and have no idea how it works. Just that it does.

Any suggestions?

you would have to do it in a script so you could add the usage of the months of the current year

although i couldnt tell you immediately what that script would look like

Its using the same vnsat script over and over and parsing the results with different awk parameters, shouldn't be too big. But it depends how much work you make the script do and how much you make conky do.

ive got this in a lua script so far

--year usage
wtimer=(updates % 30)+1
monthtotals={}
yeartotal=0
year=os.date('%Y')
if updates==6 or wtimer==1 then    
for i=1,12 do
month=months[i]
find=month .. year
n=i
monthtotal=(conky_parse("${exec vnstat -m | grep -n '" .. find .. "' | sed -n 1p | awk -F'|' '{print $3}' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//'}"))
monthtotal=string.gsub(monthtotal," ","")
monthtotalnum=tonumber((string.gsub(monthtotal,"%a","")))
monthtotalunit=(string.gsub(monthtotal,"[%p%d]",""))
if monthtotalnum==nil then monthtotalnum=0 end
if monthtotalunit=="MiB" then monthtotalnum=monthtotalnum/1024
else if monthtotalunit=="KiB" then monthtotalnum=monthtotalnum/(1024*1024)
else monthtotalnum=monthtotalnum end end
monthtotals[i]=monthtotalnum
end
for i=1,12 do
yeartotal=yeartotal+monthtotals[i]
end
print (yeartotal, "GiB")
end

i only have january for this year and december for last year... but i took away the year requirement for the search and it added dec 10 to jan 11...so im reasonably sure it will work
also takes into account possible different units for each month and updates every 30 conky cycles

edit - thinking about it, i could probably loose the table creation step and the second for i loop and go straight for the summation of values...

edit - i edited my vnstat.conf to make the searching easier

# date output formats for -d, -m, -t and -w
# see 'man date' for control codes
DayFormat    "%x"
MonthFormat  "%b%Y"
TopFormat    "%x"

After some more tinkering I have added gmail to the main conky.

Played with the offsets to get calender lined up right.

Added Rhythmbox to the weather conky,still trying to get the album art to work.

Finally got the .lua size right.


HMMMMmmmm now what else to do...sure I will think of something else to shoe horn in there

When you get done, you should post your code.

I have a netbook and lappy that could use some Conky updating!

I set up conky a couple days ago. Computer has been running for 3 days now, ram is at 59% constantly, any idea why?

That depends on what's running in your script. Would you mind posting it with a screenshot so we can see it better? And, while you're at it, what happens when you kill a running process or start one? Just, no change in the number at all?

Take a look at post 15093.

If that doesn't work, post your .conkyrc.

I like the "board" (bored?) conky.
