NAME
|
|
conky - A system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code, but
|
|
more kickass. It just keeps on given'er. Yeah.
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
conky [options]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
COMPILING
|
|
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 SVN.
|
|
|
|
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):
|
|
|
|
sh autogen.sh # Only required if building from SVN
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --in-
|
|
fodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --local-
|
|
statedir=/var/lib --disable-own-window --enable-audacious[=yes|no|lega-
|
|
cy] --enable-bmpx --disable-hddtemp --disable-mpd --enable-xmms2 --dis-
|
|
able-portmon --disable-network --enable-debug --disable-x11 --dis-
|
|
able-double-buffer --disable-xdamage --disable-xft
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
make install # Optional
|
|
|
|
src/conky
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
YOU SHOULD KNOW
|
|
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.
|

exec command
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
execbar command
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
execgraph (normal|log) command
|
|

|
|
execp command
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
execpi interval command
|
|
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.

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 ("foobar" and " foobar"
|
|
can both generate "barfoo" but "foobar " will keep the spaces
|
|
like this "bar foo").

|
shadecolor (color)
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
smapi (ARGS)
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
smapi_bat_perc (INDEX)
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
smapi_bat_bar (INDEX),(height),(width)
|
|
when using smapi, display the remaining capacity of the battery
|
|
with index INDEX as a bar.

|
tcp_portmon port_begin port_end item (index) (ip4 only at present)
|
|
TCP port monitor for specified local ports. Port numbers must be
|
|
in the range 1 to 65535. Valid items are:
|
|
|
|
count - total number of connections in the range
|
|
rip - remote ip address
|
|
rhost - remote host name
|
|
rport - remote port number
|
|
rservice - remote service name from /etc/services
|
|
lip - local ip address
|
|
lhost - local host name
|
|
lport - local port number
|
|
lservice - 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:
|
|
${tcp_portmon 6881 6999 count} - displays the number of connec-
|
|
tions in the bittorrent port range
|
|
${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 0} - displays the remote host ip of the
|
|
first sshd connection
|
|
${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 9} - displays the remote host ip of the
|
|
tenth sshd connection
|
|
${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rhost 0} - displays the remote host name of
|
|
the first connection on a privileged port
|
|
${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rport 4} - displays the remote host port of
|
|
the fifth connection on a privileged port
|
|
${tcp_portmon 1 65535 lservice 14} - 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.
|
|
|
|
texeci interval command
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
tab (width, (start))
|
|
Puts a tab of the specified width, starting from column 'start'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
tail logfile lines (interval)
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
top type, num
|
|
This takes arguments in the form:top (name) (number) Basically,

|
|
age, which is what (num) represents. The types are: "name",
|
|
"pid", "cpu", "mem", "mem_res", "mem_vsize", and "time". There

BUGS
|
|
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.
