Right, but if I don't use tail the same output appears in my conky display, (just the IP address.) My question is what is the tail doing in that command? How is it helping with the formatting or displaying the IP address information?

I don't think it actually does anything and I am wondering if the tail is needed.
When I run conky from the command line it gives me

If you run

wget -O - http://whatismyip.org/

and

wget -O - http://whatismyip.org/ | tail

in a terminal you'll see a minor difference.

For more info :

wget --help
man wget
tail --help
man tail

Good, thanks, you're a good teacher mate.
Your quite welcome.

Now I have to add icons in front of partitions like in pictures i share with you above. But I don't understand how to do that, can you make that script for me please ?
No scripts needed. Find an iconset you like, and port them to your local conky folder where they can be easily referenced.
i.e. ~/Conky/Peace/images # Where "Peace" is the name of your conky theme (stolen from your wallpaper)
Let's say, for example's sake, you have a Ubuntu, Windows, and... say... openSUSE partition you're monitoring.

Image tags are not responsible to the where they are in the conky line. The -p (position) tag tells it where to line up. Bear in mind that if you put these image tags on a new line, the rest of your conky will move down accordingly. You can either use ${voffset}s to fix it, or place them all on one line somewhere [${image ...}${image ...}${image ...} ]

I also included a $if existing, so if you wanted to place a monitor on your thumbdrive or other multimedia device that you can plug and unplug, it is displayed in the conky.

You'll have to play with the -p tags to get them positioned correctly. Also, if you are going to size (-s tag), bear it mind it's better to scale the image yourself so conky doesn't have to every time it refreshed. As I noted above, the $offsets after the $image need to correlate to the size of the image, or they'll run behind the image because images are not verbatim as is the text.

I've found an easy way to do that just by adding " ${execpi 30 ~/.conky/conkyHD1.py} " and edit conkyHD1.py script acording to my partitions.
Thank you for help Mahngiel .

Go [here] to get K's ppa, then apt-get conkyExail

[Mahngiel]

I have a question on this part of the conky script I lifted, I don't remember the author.

${execi 3600 wget -O - http://whatismyip.org/ | tail}

I believe it runs wget every 3600 seconds to pull down the IP address. "tail" uses the end of a particular file, but what is the purpose of the "tail" command in this line of the script? If I omit the tail it seems to work the same.

${pre_exec arp -a|awk '{print $2}'}
