The problem with the original commit was that some session-managers set
stdin to /dev/null for the processes they launch, therefore the variable
wasn't very effective.
This commit change the variable conky_user_time to user_time.
This variable has a mandatory argument, a console identifier
(eg. tty7, pts/0, etc.).
Once called, this will list how long the user for the given console has been
logged in for.
This commit also allows multiple user_time to be specified for different
consoles, as well as correctly handle a conky restart.
The bug reporter asks if it is possible to add a variable giving the "current
user time" only, since the variable user_times reports the times for ALL
logged users.
AFAIK, the only info one can gather inside conky, is the login time for the
tty connected to conky's standard input.
This commit adds support for it (it should work on any posix compliant *nix).
Note that in coherence with the definition, the variable is called
conky_user_time (for a single user stand-alone machine used as a desktop
this would be the "current" user time).
This was really creepy stuff. Last updated in April, 2006 to work with
kernels > 2.6.12. I consider this "fobar" (fscking obsolete beyond all
recognition) and doubt anyone still uses this. If you do, blame me. :)
All ERR()'s are renamed to NORM_ERR() and box to mbox so that they don't
clash with things in ncurses.h .
Ncurses is enabled by default when building conky but can be disabled with
--disable-ncurses .
At the moment configure doesn't check if ncurses is actually available.
I'm adding support for ncurses so that we can make as much things as possible
that are only available in X11 also available in console in the future.
The alias option was broken by fb8ccd7a05,
and it seems like trying to make it work again will only result in
breakage for env var substitution anyway.
I moved the weather stuff into its own thread, and also fixed up some
abuse of <simplelist> formatting throughout the docs. Hopefully we can
keep things a little more uniform from now on.
Should work with any window manager that supports the
freedesktop.org Window Manager Specification
(see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/wm-spec).
I have tested succesfully with openbox but some more testing with other
wm would be needed!
Support is built-in; if it is not acceptable to loose cpu cycles for this
at every conky refresh step than it should be conditionally compiled.
Improved Lua API (lua_read_parse has been removed in favour of the
conky_parse() Lua API call). The docs have been improved to reflect the
recent Lua API stuff as well. Introduced new Lua Cairo and Imlib2
bindings, which require the tolua++ tool. Fixed some other
miscellaneous doc related things.
Download, parse and display METAR data from the NWS.
icao must be a valid icao for the required location
(see for instance https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/qryhtml/icao/).
data_type must be one of the following:
last_update : display the date (yyyy/mm/dd) and time (UTC)
of the last update.
temperature_C : display air temperature in degree Celsius.
temperature_F : display air temperature in degree Fahrenheit.
cloud_cover : display the highest cloud cover status.
pressure : display air pressure in millibar.
wind_speed : display wind speed in km/hour.
wind_dir : display wind direction.
wind_dir_DEG : display compass wind direction.
humidity : display relative humidity in %.
weather : display any relevant weather event (rain, snow, etc.).
delay_in_minutes (optional, default 30) cannot be lower than 30 min.
Up to 3 stations can be simultaneously queried.
Use --enable-weather to compile this in.
