OH YEA!!!!!!!!!! You just answered a question I was going to have to worry about in 6 months .... what to do when the database has more than a years worth of info. That's for you and 'Kudos' too!

I'll get it into conky with 5 months and at the first every month add a month until I get to 11. It starts at 0

It'll do?

${execpi 300 vnstat -m |mawk -v last=12 '/[A-Z][a-z][a-z].+12/ {test[++i]=$0} END{i=0; while (test[++i]); if (last>i) last=i-1; else if (last<1) last=1; for (j=i-last; j<i; j++) {$0=test[j]; c1="${color green}"; if ($9>100) c1="${color red}"; print "${color6}"$1, $2 ":${color}${goto 75}" $3, $4 "${goto 175}" $6, $7 "${goto 275}" c1 $9 "${color}", $10}}'}

this shows last 12 months, but only those with actual data. You can change number of months with "-v last=12" and still, it will show as much as vnstat gives:

:~$ vnstat -m -i wlan0 |mawk -v last=12 '/[A-Z][a-z][a-z].+12/ {test[++i]=$0} END{i=0; while (test[++i]); if (last>i) last=i-1; else if (last<1) last=1; for (j=i-last; j<i; j++) {$0=test[j]; print $1, $2":\t" $3$4, "\t" $6$7, "\t" $9$10}}'

OH YEA! That's really nice.
Thank you again!

EDIT: Forgot the image: with a little adjustment in the line to fit the new look - kept the colours this time

Too many replies.

Isn't it time to break this thread monthly basis?

No, that's a horrible idea. Some of us have been here for years. This just works.

Can you imagine starting a series of posts to get help and in the middle of someone helping .... oops ... new thread!

Hello all, quick question over-all I think. I believe I got this conky from Sector11. It is called gnu_win_weather! Works great, love it! However, being a simple-minded American who doesn't comprehend the metric system, I would like for it to display in Fahrenheit. I haven't been able to find anywhere, a place to change it to 'IM' for US measurements. ie km/h to mph, C to F and so on. Advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Jed

Yes, that's mine and it's conkyForecast in action!

Add --imperial to the line that calls it:

${execpi 1800 conkyForecast --location=AYXX0005 --imperial --template=$HOME/Conky/GNU/gnu-all-txt.template}

Metric:

${execpi 1800 conkyForecast --location=AYXX0005 --template=$HOME/Conky/GNU/gnu-all-txt.template}

EDIT! Had the code backwards! Hey, I just got up!

[MoralAnarchy]

Hey folks. I just made a new conky. This time I just started from scratch and tweaked it out as much as i could with the very little I know so far. But anyway I'm having trouble with the fact that whenever conky is running and i click on my desktop conky disappears. If somebody could please look at this script and tell me what might be messed up about it.

${color0}${hr}${color}

One more thing - whatever it is 100MB or 100GB it is colored same, like when border is set to 100 then 101MB will be above border, but 1GB will be below border.
So, this edit make for this:

${color0}Monthly Transfer Totals${color} ${hr}
${color6}${goto 85}rx${goto 170}tx${goto 265}Total${color}
${execpi 300 vnstat -m |mawk -v last=12 -v month_max="50 GB" 'BEGIN{split(month_max, max); if (max[2]=="GB" || max[2]=="GiB") max[1]=max[1]*1024;} /[A-Z][a-z][a-z].+12/ {test[++i]=$0} END{i=0; while (test[++i]); if (last>i) last=i-1; else if (last<1) last=1; for (j=i-last; j<i; j++) {$0=test[j]; c1="${color3}"; total=$9; if ($10=="GB" || $10=="GiB"); total=$9*1024; if (total>=max[1]) c1="${color9}"; print "${color6}"$1, $2 ":${color}${goto 85}" $3, $4 "${goto 170}" $6, $7 "${goto 265}" c1 $9 "${color}", $10}}'}
${color0}${hr}${color}

it is crucial, that -v month_max="50 GiB" have space in between value and unit (unit might be "MB"/"MiB" or "GB"/"GiB").

I copied you code in below the other one and changed

month_max="50 GB"

to

month_max="30 GB"

to see a difference, also changed ${color9} (red) to ${color3} (orange), the red was too hard on my eyes:
