        <listitem>Executes a shell command and displays the output

        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 anything
        like $execi within an $execp statement, it will
        functionally run at the same interval that the $execp
        statement runs, as it is created and destroyed at every
        interval.

        <listitem>Renders an image from the path specified using
        Imlib2. Takes 4 optional arguments: a position, a size, a
        no-cache switch, and a cache flush interval. Changing the
        x,y position will move the position of the image, and
        changing the WxH will scale the image. If you specify the
        no-cache flag (-n), the image will not be cached.
        Alternately, you can specify the -f int switch to specify a
        cache flust interval for a particular image. Example:
        ${image /home/brenden/cheeseburger.jpg -p 20,20 -s 200x200}
        will render 'cheeseburger.jpg' at (20,20) scaled to 200x200
        pixels. Conky does not make any attempt to adjust the
        position (or any other formatting) of images, they are just
        rendered as per the arguments passed. The only reason
        $image is part of the TEXT section, is to allow for runtime
        modifications, through $execp $lua_parse, or some other
        method.

        'fan' meaning fan; 'temp' meaning temperature. Parameter n
        is number of the sensor. See /sys/bus/platform/devices/ on
        your local computer. The optional arguments 'factor' and

        being modified as follows: 'input = input * factor +

            many references to a single port range for different

            internally. In other words, the program avoids creating

        run inside a thread. Use this if you have a slow script to
        keep Conky updating. 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 interval at least 6 seconds.
        See also $execi. This object will clean up the thread when
        it is destroyed, so it can safely be used in a nested
        fashion, though it may not produce the desired behaviour if
        used this way.

            </simplelist>
            <para>The first one is free to use but the second
            requires you to register and obtain your partner ID and
            license key. These two must be written, separated by a
            space, into a file called .xoaprc which needs to be
            placed into your home directory.</para>
            <para>'locID' must be a valid location identifier for
            the required uri. For the NOAA site this must be a
            valid ICAO (see for instance
            https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/qryhtml/icao/). For the
            weather.com site this must be a valid location ID (see
            for instance
            http://aspnetresources.com/tools/locid.aspx).</para>
            <para>'data_type' must be one of the following:</para>

                    <command>last_update</command>
                    <para>The date and time stamp of the data.
                    The result depends on the URI used. For the
                    NOAA site it is date (yyyy/mm/dd) and UTC time.
                    For the weather.com one it is date
                    ([m]m/[d]d/yy) and Local Time of the
                    station.</para>
