ok now i feel dumb. cant figure out how to make the launcher. i created one and put this in the command line. what am i missing

/bin/sh ~/Documents/code/ssc.sh

chmod +x ~/Documents/code/ssc.sh

Did you make it executable?

Just a thought.

yeah it is

[djyoung4]

chmod +x ~/Documents/code/ssc.sh

no dice

#!/bin/sh
# click to start, click to stop
 
if pidof conky | grep [0-9] > /dev/null
then
exec killall conky
else
 
sleep 30  # sleep not required for xfce on startup - 30 or more for others
conky -c ~/.conkyrc &
#conky -c ~/Conky/conkytext &
#conky -c ~/Conky/conkyemail &
#conky -c ~/Conky/conkyforecast &
 
exit
fi

thats my actual ssc.sh. im just trying to get multiple conkys running so if there is a different way to do this im all ears.

Scrath that then. Yours looks almost the same as mine, maybe try getting rid of the "&" at the end of your first conky -c line. I don,t have one.

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

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

sleep 5  # sleep not required for xfce on startup - 30 or more for others
conky -c ~/Conky/Rings-v2/rings-v2
exit
fi

what error are you getting in the terminal when you try to run it?

Are you using sh to call it. I.E.

sh ~/path/to/start_conky.sh

sh ~/path/to/start_conky.sh

replace chmod +x with sh.

[djyoung4]

replace chmod +x with sh.

nope even if i just run the ssc.sh from a terminal all i get is a blinking cursor

In a terminal, run the following:

sudo chmod +x ~/Documents/code/ssc.sh

Then run the following:

sh ~/Documents/code/ssc.sh

If conky is running, it will shut it down. If it is not it will start it.

To have it startup automatically when you log in. Modify the "Command:" line in your startup applications to:

sh ~/Documents/code/ssc.sh

Or you can just create a seperate start script like I have:

#!/bin/bash

sleep 30 &&
conky -d -c ~/path/to/rc/file &
exit
