You don't put the script directly in the .conkyrc but put a link to it. Here's a sample .conkyrc that just has the conkycal.sh in it:
Code:
override_utf8_locale yes
own_window_title conky
use_xft yes
background yes
xftfont vera:size=10
alignment left
xftalpha 1
own_window yes
own_window_type normal
own_window_transparent no
#own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
double_buffer yes
draw_shades no
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
stippled_borders 10
border_margin 4
border_width 1
default_shade_color grey
default_outline_color black
use_spacer none
no_buffers yes
uppercase no
default_color 99ccff #Light Blue

color4 aa40aa #Purple
color5 c08040 #Brown
