       conky - A system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code, but
       more kickass. It just keeps on given’er. Yeah.

1mDESCRIPTION0m
       Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on torsmo.  Since  its
       inception,  Conky has changed significantly from its predecessor, while
       maintaining simplicity and  configurability.  Conky  can	 display  just
       about  anything,	 either on your root desktop or in its own window. Not
       only does Conky have many built-in objects, it can  also	 display  just
       about any piece of information by using scripts and other external pro‐
       grams.

       Conky has more than 250 built  in  objects,  including  support	for  a
       plethora	 of OS stats (uname, uptime, CPU usage, mem usage, disk usage,
       "top" like process stats, and network monitoring, just to name a	 few),
       built in IMAP and POP3 support, built in support for many popular music
       players (MPD, XMMS2, BMPx, Audacious), and much much more.   Conky  can
       display	this  info  either  as text, or using simple progress bars and
       graph widgets, with different fonts and colours.

       We are always looking for help, whether	its  reporting	bugs,  writing
       patches,	 or writing docs.  Please use the facilities at SourceForge to
       make bug reports, feature requests, and	submit	patches,  or  stop  by
       #conky on irc.freenode.net if you have questions or want to contribute.

       Thanks for your interest in Conky.

1mCOMPILING0m
       For users compiling from source on a binary distro, make sure you  have
       the  X  development libraries installed. This should be a package along
       the lines of "libx11-dev" or "xorg-x11-dev" for X11 libs,  and  similar
       "-dev"  format for the other libs required (depending on your configure
       options).

       Conky has (for some time) been available in the	repositories  of  most
       popular	distributions.	 Here are some installation instructions for a
       few:

       Gentoo users -- Conky is in Gentoo’s Portage... simply use "emerge app-
       admin/conky"  for  installation.	  There	 is also usually an up-to-date
       ebuild within Conky’s package or in the git repo.

       Debian, etc. users -- Conky should be in your repositories, and can  be
       installed by doing "aptitude install conky".

       Example	to  compile  and  run Conky with all optional components (note
       that some configure options may differ for your system):

       1msh autogen.sh # Only required if building from the git repo0m

       1m./configure	  --prefix=/usr	     --mandir=/usr/share/man	   --in‐0m
       1mfodir=/usr/share/info	--datadir=/usr/share  --sysconfdir=/etc --local‐0m
       1mstatedir=/var/lib --disable-own-window --enable-audacious[=yes|no|lega‐0m
       1mcy] --enable-bmpx --disable-hddtemp --disable-mpd --enable-xmms2 --dis‐0m
       1mable-portmon  --disable-network  --enable-debug  --disable-x11	  --dis‐0m
       1mable-double-buffer --disable-xdamage --disable-xft0m

       1mmake0m

       1mmake install # Optional0m

       1msrc/conky0m

       Conky has been tested to be compatible with C99 C, however it  has  not
       been tested with anything other than gcc, and is not guaranteed to work
       with other compilers.


1mYOU SHOULD KNOW0m
       Conky is generally very good on resources. That said, the more you  try
       to make Conky do, the more resources it is going to consume.

       An easy way to force Conky to reload your ~/.conkyrc: "killall -SIGUSR1
       conky".	Saves you the trouble of having to kill and then restart.  You
       can now also do the same with SIGHUP.

	      interface being solely up, being up and having link or being up,
	      having link and an assigned IP address.


       1mimap	22mDefault global IMAP server. Arguments are: "host user  pass	[-i
	      interval]	 [-f folder] [-p port] [-e command] [-r retries]". De‐
	      fault port is 143, default folder is ’INBOX’,  default  interval
	      is  5 minutes, and default number of retries before giving up is
	      5. If the password is supplied as ’*’, you will be  prompted  to
	      enter the password when Conky starts.

	      buffer  is used for intermediary text, such as individual lines,
	      output from $exec vars, and various other variables.  Increasing
	      the  size	 of this buffer can drastically reduce Conky’s perfor‐
	      mance, but will allow for more text display  per	variable.  The
	      size  of this buffer cannot be smaller than the default value of
	      256 bytes.

       1mown_window_hints undecorated,below,above,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager0m
	      If  own_window is yes, you may use these window manager hints to
	      affect the way Conky displays.  Notes: Use own_window_type desk‐

	      If you use own_window_type override, window manager  hints  have
	      no meaning and are ignored.


       1mown_window_title0m
	      Manually	set the window name. Defaults to "<hostname> - conky".


       1mown_window_transparent0m

       1mown_window_type0m
	      if own_window is yes, you may specify type normal, desktop, dock
	      or override (default: normal).  Desktop windows are special win‐
	      dows that have no window decorations; are always visible on your
	      desktop;	do not appear in your pager or taskbar; and are sticky
	      across all workspaces.  Override windows are not under the  con‐
	      trol of the window manager. Hints are ignored. This type of win‐
	      dow can be useful for certain situations.

       1mout_to_stderr0m
	      Print text to stderr.


       1mout_to_x0m
	      When set to no, there will be no output in X  (useful  when  you
	      also use things like out_to_console).  If you set it to no, make
	      sure that it’s placed before all other X-related	setting	 (take
	      the  first line of your configfile to be sure). Default value is
	      yes


       1moverwrite_file0m
	      Overwrite the file given as argument.


       1mappend_file0m
	      Append the file given as argument.

	      tries before giving up is 5. If the password is supplied as ’*’,
	      you will be prompted to enter the password when Conky starts.


       1mshort_units0m

	      unit is degree Celsius.


       1mtemplateN0m
	      Define a template for later use inside TEXT segments. Substitute
	      N by a digit between 0 and 9, inclusively.   The	value  of  the
	      variable is being inserted into the stuff below TEXT at the cor‐
	      responding position, but before some substitutions are applied:

	      ’\n’ -> newline

       1mexec command0m
	      Executes a shell command and displays the output in conky. warn‐
	      ing:  this  takes a lot more resources than other variables. I’d
	      recommend coding wanted behaviour in C and posting a patch.


       1mexecbar command0m
	      Same as exec, except if the first value return is	 a  value  be‐
	      tween 0-100, it will use that number for a bar. The size for the
	      bar is currently fixed, but that may change in the future.


       1mexecgraph ("normal"|"log") (height),(width) (gradient colour 1) (gradi‐0m
       1ment colour 2) (scale) command0m
	      Same as execbar, but graphs values. Uses a logaritmic scale when
	      the  log	option	is  given (to see small numbers). Values still
	      have to be between 0 and 100.


       1mexeci interval command0m
	      Same as exec but with specific interval. Interval can’t be  less
	      than update_interval in configuration. See also $texeci

       1mexecigraph interval command0m
	      Same as execgraph, but takes an interval arg graphs values


       1mexecp command0m
	      Executes a shell command and displays the output in conky. warn‐
	      ing: this takes a lot more resources than other  variables.  I’d
	      recommend coding wanted behaviour in C and posting a patch. This
	      differs from $exec in that it parses the output of the  command,
	      so  you  can  insert things like ${color red}hi!${color} in your
	      script and have it correctly parsed by  Conky.   Caveats:	 Conky
	      parses  and  evaluates  the  output  of  $execp every time Conky
	      loops, and then destroys all the objects. If you try to use any‐
	      thing  like $execi within an $execp statement, it will function‐
	      ally run at the same interval that the $execp statement runs, as
	      it is created and destroyed at every interval.


       1mexecpi interval command0m
	      Same as execp but with specific interval. Interval can’t be less
	      than update_interval in configuration. Note that the output from
	      the  $execpi  command is still parsed and evaluated at every in‐
	      terval.

	      discharging.


       1mplatform (dev) type n0m
	      Platform sensor from sysfs (Linux 2.6).  Parameter  dev  may  be
	      omitted  if  you have only one platform device. Platform type is
	      either ’in’ or ’vol’ meaning voltage; ’fan’ meaning fan;	’temp’
	      meaning  temperature.  Parameter	n is number of the sensor. See
	      /sys/bus/platform/devices/ on your local computer.


       1mpop3_unseen (args)0m
	      Displays the number of unseen messages in your global POP3 inbox
	      by default. You can define individual POP3 inboxes seperately by
	      passing arguments to this object. Arguments are: "host user pass
	      [-i interval] [-p port] [-e command] [-r retries]". Default port
	      is 110, default interval is 5 minutes, and default number of re‐
	      tries before giving up is 5. If the password is supplied as ’*’,
	      you will be prompted to enter the password when Conky starts.


       1mpop3_used (args)0m
	      Displays the amount of space (in MiB, 2^20) used in your	global
	      POP3  inbox  by  default. You can define individual POP3 inboxes
	      seperately by passing arguments to this object.  Arguments  are:
	      "host  user  pass	 [-i  interval] [-p port] [-e command] [-r re‐
	      tries]". Default port is 110, default interval is 5 minutes, and
	      default number of retries before giving up is 5. If the password
	      is supplied as ’*’, you will be prompted to enter	 the  password
	      when Conky starts.


       1mpre_exec shell command0m
	      Executes a shell command one time before conky displays anything
	      and puts output as text.


       1mprocesses0m
	      Total processes (sleeping and running)


       1mrunning_processes0m
	      Running processes (not sleeping), requires Linux 2.6


       1mscroll length (step) text0m
	      Scroll ’text’ by ’step’ characters showing  ’length’  number  of
	      characters  at  the  same	 time. The text may also contain vari‐
	      ables. ’step’ is optional and defaults to 1 if not set. If a var
	      creates  output  on multiple lines then the lines are placed be‐
	      hind each other separated with a ’|’-sign. Do NOT use vars  that
	      change  colors or otherwise affect the design inside a scrolling
	      text. If you want spaces	between	 the  start  and  the  end  of
	      ’text’,  place them at the end of ’text’ not at the front ("foo‐
	      bar" and " foobar" can both generate "barfoo" but "foobar " will
	      keep the spaces like this "bar foo").


       1mshadecolor (color)0m
	      Change shading color


       1msmapi (ARGS)0m
	      when  using  smapi,  display  contents of the /sys/devices/plat‐
	      form/smapi directory. ARGS are either ’(FILENAME)’ or ’bat  (IN‐
	      DEX)  (FILENAME)’	 to  display the corresponding files’ content.
	      This is a very raw method of accessing the  smapi	 values.  When
	      available, better use one of the smapi_* variables instead.


       1msmapi_bat_bar (INDEX),(height),(width)0m
	      when  using smapi, display the remaining capacity of the battery
	      with index INDEX as a bar.


       1msmapi_bat_perc (INDEX)0m
	      when using smapi, display the remaining capacity in  percent  of
	      the  battery  with  index INDEX. This is a separate variable be‐
	      cause it supports the ’use_spacer’ configuration option.


       1msmapi_bat_power INDEX0m
	      when using smapi, display the current power of the battery  with
	      index  INDEX  in	watt.  This is a separate variable because the
	      original read out value is being converted from mW. The sign  of
	      the  output  reflects  charging (positive) or discharging (nega‐
	      tive) state.


       1msmapi_bat_temp INDEX0m
	      when using smapi, display the current temperature of the battery
	      with  index INDEX in degree Celsius. This is a separate variable
	      because the original read out value is being converted from mil‐
	      li degree Celsius.


       1mstippled_hr (space)0m
	      Stippled (dashed) horizontal line


       1mswapbar (height),(width)0m

       1mswap	22mAmount of swap in use


       1mswapmax0m
	      Total amount of swap


       1mswapperc0m
	      Percentage of swap in use


       1msysname0m
	      System name, Linux for example


       1mtcp_portmon port_begin port_end item (index) 4m22m(ip424m 4monly24m 4mat24m 4mpresent)0m
	      TCP port monitor for specified local ports. Port numbers must be
	      in the range 1 to 65535. Valid items are:

	      1mcount 22m- total number of connections in the range
	      1mrip 22m- remote ip address
	      1mrhost 22m- remote host name
	      1mrport 22m- remote port number
	      1mrservice 22m- remote service name from /etc/services
	      1mlip 22m- local ip address
	      1mlhost 22m- local host name
	      1mlport 22m- local port number
	      1mlservice 22m- local service name from /etc/services

	      The connection index provides you with access to each connection
	      in the port monitor. The monitor will return information for in‐
	      dex values from 0 to n-1 connections. Values higher than n-1 are
	      simply  ignored. For the "count" item, the connection index must
	      be omitted. It is required for all other items.

	      Examples:
	      1m${tcp_portmon 6881 6999 count} 22m- displays the number of  connec‐
	      tions in the bittorrent port range
	      1m${tcp_portmon  22 22 rip 0} 22m- displays the remote host ip of the
	      first sshd connection
	      1m${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 9} 22m- displays the remote host ip of	the
	      tenth sshd connection
	      1m${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rhost 0} 22m- displays the remote host name of
	      the first connection on a privileged port
	      1m${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rport 4} 22m- displays the remote host port of
	      the fifth connection on a privileged port
	      1m${tcp_portmon  1 65535 lservice 14} 22m- displays the local service
	      name of the fifteenth connection in the range of all ports

	      Note that port monitor variables which share the same port range
	      actually refer to the same monitor, so many references to a sin‐
	      gle port range for different items and different indexes all use
	      the  same monitor internally. In other words, the program avoids
	      creating redundant monitors.

       1mtexeci interval command0m
	      Runs a command at an interval inside a thread and	 displays  the
	      output.  Same  as	 $execi,  except  the  command is run inside a
	      thread. Use this if you have a slow script to keep Conky	updat‐
	      ing.  You should make the interval slightly longer then the time
	      it takes your script to execute. For  example,  if  you  have  a
	      script  that  take 5 seconds to execute, you should make the in‐
	      terval at least 6 seconds. See also $execi.


       1moffset (pixels)0m
	      Move text over by N pixels. See also $voffset.


       1mrss url delay_in_minutes action item_num0m
	      Download and parse RSS feeds. Action may be one of  the  follow‐
	      ing:  feed_title, item_title (with num par), item_desc (with num
	      par) and item_titles.


       1mtab (width, (start))0m
	      Puts a tab of the specified width, starting from column ’start’.


       1mtail logfile lines (interval)0m
	      Displays last N lines of supplied text text file. If interval is
	      not supplied, Conky assumes 2x Conky’s interval. Max of 30 lines
	      can be displayed, or until the text buffer is filled.


       1mtemplateN (arg1) (arg2) (arg3 ...)0m
	      Evaluate	the  content  of  the templateN configuration variable
	      (where N is a value between 0 and 9, inclusively), applying sub‐
	      stitutions  as described in the documentation of the correspond‐
	      ing configuration variable.  The number of arguments is  option‐
	      al,  but	must match the highest referred index in the template.
	      You can use the same special sequences in each argument  as  the
	      ones  valid for a template definition, e.g. to allow an argument
	      to contain a whitespace. Also simple  nesting  of	 templates  is
	      possible this way.

	      Here are some examples of template definitions:

	      template0 $\1\2
	      template1 \1: ${fs_used \2} / ${fs_size \2}
	      template2 \1 \2

	      The  following  list shows sample usage of the templates defined
	      above, with the equivalent syntax when not using any template at
	      all:

	      using template				same without template
	      ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	      ${template0 node name}			$nodename
	      ${template1 root /}			root:	${fs_free   /}	 /
							${fs_size /}
	      ${template1 ${template2\ disk\ root} /}	disk root: ${fs_free /} / ${fs_size /}

	      information about format. The timezone argument is specified  in
	      similar  fashion	as TZ environment variable. For hints, look in
	      /usr/share/zoneinfo. e.g. US/Pacific, Europe/Zurich, etc.


       1mtotaldown net0m
	      Total download, overflows at 4 GB on Linux with 32-bit arch  and
	      there doesn’t seem to be a way to know how many times it has al‐
	      ready done that before conky has started.


       1mtop type, num0m
	      This takes arguments in the form:top (name) (number)  Basically,
	      processes	 are ranked from highest to lowest in terms of cpu us‐
	      age, which is what (num)	represents.  The  types	 are:  "name",
	      "pid",  "cpu",  "mem", "mem_res", "mem_vsize", and "time". There
	      can be a max of 10 processes listed.

	      Upload  speed  graph,  colours  defined  in hex, minus the #. If
	      scale is non-zero, it becomes the scale for the  graph.  Uses  a
	      logarithmic  scale (to see small numbers) when you use "log" in‐
	      stead of "normal".

1mBUGS0m
       Drawing to root or some other desktop window directly doesn’t work with
       all window managers. Especially doesn’t work well with Gnome and it has
       been reported that it doesn’t work with KDE  either.  Nautilus  can  be
       disabled	 from  drawing	to  desktop with program gconf-editor. Uncheck
       show_desktop in /apps/nautilus/preferences/.  There  is	-w  switch  in
       Conky  to  set  some  specific window id. You might find xwininfo -tree
       useful to find the window to draw to. You  can  also  use  -o  argument
       which makes Conky to create its own window. If you do try running Conky
       in its own window, be sure to read up on the  own_window_type  settings
       and experiment.
