gives me:

Code:

 66.163.181.184			mmcc    
 204.225.124.69			ircd    
 216.239.59.16			imaps    
 207.46.109.81			msnp     
 216.239.59.16			imaps    
 216.165.191.52			ircd    
 216.239.59.16			imaps

Just replace the \t\t\t with more or less \t's for more or less tabs to get the spacing you want.

And for the connection count use this:

Code:

${exec netstat -p -t --numeric-hosts | grep '192.168.0.1' | grep 'ESTABLISHED' | wc -l}

It just counts the number of lines returned by netstat for active established connections present

Both commands need the 192.168.0.1 ip address replacing with your externally facing ip address...

Hope that helps

Marvelous.. next question (more of a refinement) could this be seperated (I know this will be simple and make me look like more of a dolt) in a similar fashion for local and remote hosts as tcp_portmon does for inbound and outbound..

My thinking is have it append to a txt file in /tmp and then goto conkyrc and
${if_existing /tmp/incoming.dat}
**damn it I just got more complex than I Wanted to.. but would read x number of lines 3, 5 or whatever and echo result (2 colums was great btw)
${elseif}
No Active Connections Detected
${endif}

and a similar fashion for outgoing.dat..

Is it still the same way you explained in the conkyforecast thread?

Nice use of conky with mpd btw!

I don't understand your terminal comment though?

Thanks. The conky is a maximized window with no decoration, and i'd like to close it when I want to without having to keep the terminal open

thomas@thomas-laptop:~$ conky -c .conkyrcmpdbig
Conky: desktop window (58) is root window
Conky: window type - normal
Conky: drawing to created window (2e00001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer

to close it I have to keep the terminal open and use ctrl-c

Yep, once installed, use the .pot file found in /usr/share/conkyforecast/

I have a translation guide on my website which is probably better though, you can find it here: http://www.kaivalagi.com/node/6 Just scroll down to the section "Producing a Language Specific .po and .mo File".

Looking into how to record a pid for a command line process, so you can fire and forget, then kill based on a pid in a file...

Got the solution

Create 2 script files, one to start and another to stop your conky...

to start:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
conky -c .conkyrcmpdbig &
pid=$!
echo $pid > /tmp/conkyrcmpdbig.pid

and to stop:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
if [[ -s  /tmp/conkyrcmpdbig.pid ]] ;then	
	until ! read conkypid
		do
		kill "${conkypid}"
		done < /tmp/conkyrcmpdbig.pid
		rm -f /tmp/conkyrcmpdbig.pid			
fi

This is as far as I got for incoming connections, it's a little trickier:

Code:

netstat -l -t | grep 'LISTEN' | cut -c21-

The same sort of thing needs to be applied to this as with the outgoing netstat commands, to get formatted output, i.e. sed command(s).

The sed command also has a feature where it can give the first 5 lines of output only, bypassing the need for a file (if you can live without a no connections message, as you will have a zero for the number of connections)...e.g. for the above to restrict to the first 5 lines:

Code:

netstat -l -t | grep 'LISTEN' | cut -c21- | sed 5q

Have a read of the sed command, there are some good example web pages out there, such as:

http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html
http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/unix/sed.html

There may also be some scripts already out there for netstat formatting, search google based on these keywords instead...ignoring conky in the searching...you may have more luck

Hope that helps

....off to bed....

Or one script with an icon on the panel, I call mine cia.sh (conky in action):

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# click to start, click to stop
# comment out sleep lines for instant cia!

if pidof conky | grep [0-9] > /dev/null
then
 exec killall conky
else
conky -c ~/Conky/conkymain &
# sleep 3
conky -c ~/Conky/conkyforecast &
# sleep 3
conky -c ~/Conky/conkyemail &
# sleep 3
conky -c ~/Conky/calendar &
 exit
fi

Now just make it executable, use "Add to Panel" and it's "always" available.

Please Note: The above script is not mine, I {cough cough} borrowed it from someone here.

However here's an alias in my bashrc I like:

Code:

alias conke='(gedit ~/.startconky ~/Conky/conkymain ~/Conky/conkyforecast ~/Conky/calendar ~/Conky/conkyemail ~/Conky/scripts/myweather.template ~/.conkyForecast.config &)'

Makes for easy editing of my conky(s).

Have fun.
CHIMO!

I use 1 script, toggle-conky.sh mapped to a button on my AWN dock.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# click to start, click to stop

if pidof conky | grep [0-9] > /dev/null
then
 exec killall conky
else
 conky -d &
 exit
fi

exit 0

Doh.. Bruce beat me to it.

(Please Note: The above script is not mine either, I also plagiarized it from someone here.)

**kaivalagi** · October 15th, 2008

There is one problem, El_Belgicano has several conky instances, but wants to only hook into one of them (the mpd orientated one). He wants the ability to stop and start that single conky, whilst the other instances are unaffected. killall conky will close all his conky instances...

And here's a screenshot of the problem.

If you notice, under "Wednesday" the symbols don't align straight. They just go lower and lower. what's the problem? And why does it say "N/A" for my weather forecast?
