if that's the case post a bug on sourceforge, make sure it
contains the name of your distribution, the contents of

distribution, also add the path of that file in the bug. If there
is no such file, please add another way which we can use to identify

you may need to preceed it by a space (' '). You may also use
double-quotes around the exec argument should you need to execute a

`date +'%S'` and graph the result. Without quotes, it would simply
print the result of `date`.

</term>
<listitem>Executes a shell command and displays the output
in conky. warning: this takes a lot more resources than

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.

then you can see the numbers behind the point by using \S
followed by a number that specifies the amount of
digits behind the point that you want to see (maximum 9).

<option>&lt;path to image&gt; (-p x,y) (-s WxH) (-n)
(-f interval)</option>
</term>
<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 flush 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 conky.text section, is to allow for runtime
modifications, through $execp $lua_parse, or some other
method.

is number of the sensor. See /sys/bus/platform/devices/ on
your local computer. The optional arguments 'factor' and
'offset' allow precalculation of the raw input, which is
being modified as follows: 'input = input * factor +
offset'. Note that they have to be given as decimal values

<para>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.

omitted. It is required for all other items.</para>

<para>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.</para>

<listitem>
<para>Evaluate the content of the templateN
configuration variable (where N is a value between 0
and 9, inclusively), applying substitutions as
described in the documentation of the corresponding
configuration variable. The number of arguments is
optional, but must match the highest referred index in
the template. You can use the same special sequences in
each argument as the ones valid for a template
definition, e.g. to allow an argument to contain a
whitespace. Also simple nesting of templates is
possible this way.</para>
<para>Here are some examples of template
definitions, note they are placed between [[ ... ]] instead of ' ... ':</para>
<simplelist>
<member>template0 = [[$\1\2]]</member>
<member>template1 = [[\1: ${fs_used \2} / ${fs_size
\2}]]</member>
<member>template2 = [[\1 \2]]</member>
</simplelist>
<para>The following list shows sample usage of the
templates defined above, with the equivalent syntax
when not using any template at all:</para>
<table>
<tgroup cols="2">
<thead>
<row rowsep="1">
<entry>using template</entry>

<option>interval command</option>
</term>
<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. 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.
