Terminal script like conky ?

[RavUn]

Has anyone created a script that could run in a terminal that would accomplish something like conky? I'd like to write one but only know very basic programming. I think it'd be pretty cool to have something like conky on a server where there's no desktop.

but then without X you would need to run the script everytime you need to see the data. maybe stick together some commands to display various stats.

or you could try zsh that allows you to heavily mod the prompt line.
