This would make us both happy

Erm, is there a question in here?

[QDR06VV9]

Of-course! How?

${execi 600 tail /var/log/iptraf)

Did that work on your end?
No Joy here.
Tried with

${exec 600 tail /var/log/iptraf}

And

${execi 600 tail /var/log/iptraf)

We are both thinking along the same lines I was trying something like this

${exec your_script.sh}

I don't have iptraf installed but that is my usual M.O. for getting logs into conky.

Yah! Mine too.
But iptraf run's in terminal as root, So all logs are root owned.
That's what stumping me ATM.
Thanks Habitual

Don't really know how iptraf works but when I run...

sudo iptraf -i eth0

no log file is created. The /var/log/iptraf directory exists but is empty.

If I specify a log file location in my home directory or /tmp

sudo iptraf -i eth0 -L /tmp/iptraf.log

...then the log can be accessed as my normal user....

tail /tmp/iptraf.log

Not really a full conky configuration, just my calendar!



Colors are already configurable in the script. If someone needs more from it, open an issue and it may get implemented

You know sometimes I look right past the basics.
CantankRus Thank You!
It is a little rough now, But I now have a good start to edit it further.

IPTraf was kind of a challenge

I removed some details from the screenshot.
I think I could have chosen an easier monitor to work with but what the heck.
