                If running on Apple powerbook/ibook, display
                information on battery status. The item parameter

                must be specified. Valid items are:

	</term>
	<listitem>
		TCP port monitor for specified local ports.  Port numbers must be in the range 1 to 65535. Valid items are:
		<simplelist>
			<member><command>count</command> - total number of connections in the range
				</member>
			<member><command>rip</command> - remote ip address
				</member>
			<member><command>rhost</command> - remote host name 
				</member>
			<member><command>rport</command> - remote port number
				</member>
			<member><command>rservice</command> - remote service name from /etc/services
				</member>
			<member><command>lip</command> - local ip address
				</member>
			<member><command>lhost</command> - local host name
				</member>
			<member><command>lport</command> - local port number
				</member>
			<member><command>lservice</command> - local service name from /etc/services
				</member>
		</simplelist>The connection index provides you with access to each connection in the port monitor.  The monitor will return information for index 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.
		<simplelist>
			<member>Examples:</member>
			<member><command>${tcp_portmon 6881 6999 count}</command> -
				displays the number of connections in the bittorrent port range</member>
			<member><command>${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 0}</command> -
				displays the remote host ip of the first sshd connection</member>
			<member><command>${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 9}</command> -
				displays the remote host ip of the tenth sshd connection</member>
			<member><command>${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rhost 0}</command> -
				displays the remote host name of the first connection on a privileged port</member>
			<member><command>${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rport 4}</command> -
				displays the remote host port of the fifth connection on a privileged port</member>
			<member><command>${tcp_portmon 1 65535 lservice 14}</command> -
				displays the local service name of the fifteenth connection in the range of all ports</member>
		</simplelist>Note that port monitor variables which share the same port range actually refer to the same monitor, so many references to a single port range for different items and different indexes all use the same monitor internally.  In other words, the program avoids creating redundant monitors.

	<listitem>
		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 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.
