Conky on Mactel

[cyberdork33]

Cyberdork, did you manage to load coretemp ?

I did at one time, but not recently. I don't monitor my temps like that because I am not concerned with them really. (on an iMac). I had to install some packages, then run the sensors detect thing, and then I could read the coretemp output. Sorry I can't really help more, it was awhile ago, and I don't even have the links anymore that I used.

This is a more general question on conky :
How do I make arithmetic operation on a number.
See, I can probe my unseen messages but I don't know why, it starts with 1904, not 0. So what I want to do is just do 'the result of unseen mails minus 1904'.

Can someone help me on this ?

My line is

${color red}${pop3_unseen pop.server.fr login pass} mails

I guess I have to pipe something after, nope ?

thx

I am no good with bash, but I think you need to format your bash command that shows what you want on the cli, then have to do an execi with that bash command in it in order to display in conky. If you don't want your conkyrc getting messy, you can create a shell script that does whatever, then just run the script from your conkyrc.

You might get better help on this elsewhere since it is really not dependent on you having a Mac. I am sure someone out there has encountered this problem before, and there is likely already a solution.

Yeah , you're right. But nvmd anyway, the whole pop system is ******.
Everytime I get a new messages, it adds up and that's it, don't care if it's read or not...

I was wondering how that would work.
