    Not really

    Pidgin just crashed on me, but without any conky running...it is not that stable...

    You may need to decrease the refresh interval of the execi for conkyPidgin...

    Please forgive me for being such a n00b, I am in the conkyPidgin.py file but do not know what to look for.

    Your ~/.conky/conkymain file has the command to call conkyPidgin in it, that command may need adjusting so the refresh rate is lower
    e.g. ${execi 1 conkyPidgin ...} or ${exec conkyPidgin ...} would become ${execi 5 conkyPidgin ...} so instead of refreshing every second it would every 5...

    This is what I get in the .conkyrc file pertaining conkyPidgin:

    ${font Liberation Sans:style=Bold:size=8}PIDGIN $stippled_hr${font}${if_running pidgin}
    ${voffset 4}${execpi 10 ~/.scripts/conkyPidgin.py -o -s -l 5}${else}
    ${voffset 4}${color0}${font PizzaDude Bullets:size=12}4${font}${color} Pidgin not running${endif}

    Kaivalagi, thank you so much for your help.

    I was still having issues, I'm using the latest version of "conky-colors" so what I did was add Pidgin to "startup applications" then edited the conkystartup.sh file so that conky loads after 60 seconds and it is working out OK so far.

    Nice script, is there anyway to just list the online users and not their personal messages, the group they're in & their statuses?

    Make a custom template in your home folder based on the one here: /usr/share/conkypidgin/example/conkyPidgin.template and then use it by pointing to it with the --template option.

    Re: Conky Pidgin Python Script

    I have switched OS and now use ArchLinux rather than any debian based distro. It looks like the continuing support of my scripts will be without ppa updates, and instead my time will support AUR based installs once I get to understand them. I will provide the usual tarball downloads of the source for non Arch users from within these forum.
