I removed the code for automatic killing of stuck children, because (by admission of the person
who wrote it) it wasn't working. I also removed the $pre_exec variable, because one can use lua
to generate the config on the startup, if one wants to.
the way it is implemented now just wont work with the new config file. And i don't think that
many people used it anyway. Maybe add a replacement later?
Warning: Altough the current version works (for me),
the syntax of the configoptions and vars will probably change
over time. Contact me if you have ideas.
The following is a example of how you can use it now:
mysql_host someserver.com
mysql_db my_database
mysql_user loginname
mysql_password "s3cr3t"
TEXT
${mysql select var1 from some_table}${mysql select var2 from some_table}
I've added $memwithbuffers to complement $mem, $memeasyfree, etc. This
variable indicates the used system memory, regardless of buffers/caches. If
the "no_buffers" option is set to "no", it will be the same as $mem. The
reason I find this change useful is that I like to display both the total
used system memory and the memory being used by applications.
I've also included a memwithbuffersbar, which is the same as membar except
that it uses $memwithbuffers as the size instead of $mem.

In theory, this may fail to compile on ancient systems that don't have IPv6 types (struct
sockaddr_in6 et al.) available. If it turns out that such systems are still in use, the best way
to solve it would be to provide dummy declarations via configure tests.
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).
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.
Added support for X alignment across multi-lined objects (i.e., using
$alignr with $exec). This may be a bit buggy. Disabled OpenMP code
until GCC's implementation stabilizes (it's causing too many problems).
A couple Lua API changes.
First of all, we may or may not agree, but I consider reverting my
commits without prior discussion as a minimum unpolite.
I also don't like sites that oblige to register, thats the very reason
why I went with noaa first (and why I use that myself).
Howver, weather.com has a couple of nice features forom an user
viewpoint:
1. Their icons can be used to add a visual quality to the weather
report.
2. They have forecast data, which is not possible to have with noaa
(using TAF its an option, but its going to be very difficult and will
be limited in time and scope).
Nobody is obliged to do anything, people who likes noaa will use noaa,
people that don't mind register or wants the additional benefit will use
weather.com.
Having libxms2 as a dragged depends is, first of all, also with other
options (rss and eve), second we can try to work around it with an
additional compilation flag if really deemed necessary.
This reverts commit d872562942.
I am not really comfortable with adding support to the conky-code
for sites that only work when you register, that's more something
for in a script.
But the biggest reason I undid the commits is that it is now
impossible to compile conky with support for weather if you don't
have the xml libs installed. Users used to be able to compile with
support for weather (using the other site) without xml2.
If you really want to include this other site in the conky code
then split WEATHER in WEATHERCOM and WEATHERNOAA (altough my personal
opinion is that weather.com should only be supported with scripts)
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.
