To configure what Conky displays, you must supply some variables in the
`conky.text` section of your configuration. In this secton you'll find a
listing of the available variables. Some of them may require build options to
be enabled at compile time for them to work.
Colours are parsed using `XParseColor()`, there might be a list of them:
`/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt`. Colour can be also in `#rrggbb` format (hex).
Some objects may create threads, and sometimes these threads will not be
destroyed until Conky terminates. There is no way to destroy or clean up
threads while Conky is running. For example, if you use an MPD variable,
the MPD thread will keep running until Conky dies. Some threaded objects
will use one of the parameters as a `key`, so that you only have 1
relevant thread running (for example, the $curl, and $rss
objects launch one thread per URI).
Optional arguments are generally denoted with paretheses (i.e., `(optional)`).

- name: eval
desc: |-
Evaluates given string according to the rules of conky.text
interpretation, i.e. parsing any contained text object specifications
into their output, any occurring '$$' into a single '$' and so on. The
output is then being parsed again.
args:
- string
- name: exec
desc: |-
Executes a shell command and displays the output in conky.
Warning: this takes a lot more resources than other variables. I'd
recommend coding wanted behaviour in C/C++ and posting a patch.
args:
- command
- name: execbar
desc: |-
Same as exec, except if the first value returned is a value
between 0-100, it will use that number to draw a horizontal bar. The
height and width parameters are optional, and default to the
default_bar_height and default_bar_width config settings,
respectively.
args:
- (height),(width)
- command
- name: execgauge
desc: |-
Same as exec, except if the first value returned is a value
between 0-100, it will use that number to draw a round gauge (much
like a vehicle speedometer). The height and width parameters are
optional, and default to the default_gauge_height and
default_gauge_width config settings, respectively.
args:
- (height),(width)
- command
- name: execgraph
desc: |-
Draws a horizontally scrolling graph with values from 0-100 plotted on the
vertical axis. All parameters following the command are optional. Gradient
colors can be specified as hexadecimal values with no 0x or # prefix. Use
the -t switch to enable a temperature gradient, so that small values are
"cold" with color 1 and large values are "hot" with color 2. Without the -t
switch, the colors produce a horizontal gradient spanning the width of the
graph. The scale parameter defines the maximum value of the graph. Use the
-l switch to enable a logarithmic scale, which helps to see small values.
The default size for graphs can be controlled via the default_graph_height
and default_graph_width config settings.
If you need to execute a command with spaces, you have a
couple options:
1. wrap your command in double-quotes, or
2. put your command into a separate file, such as ~/bin/myscript.sh, and use
that as your execgraph command.
Remember to make your script executable!
In the following example, we set up execgraph to display seconds (0-59) on a
graph that is 50px high and 200px wide, using a temperature gradient with
colors ranging from red for small values (FF0000) to yellow for large values
(FFFF00). We set the scale to 60.
```
${execgraph ~/seconds.sh 50,200 FF0000 FFFF00 60 -t}
```

- name: execp
desc: |-
Executes a shell command and displays the output in conky.
Warning: this takes a lot more resources than other variables. I'd
recommend coding wanted behaviour in C/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 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.
args:
- command
- name: execpi
desc: |-
Same as execp, but with an interval. Note that the output
from the $execpi command is still parsed and evaluated at every
interval.
args:
- interval
- command
- name: flagged_mails

or mail spool if not. Only maildir type mailboxes are supported, mbox
type will return -1.
args:

- name: font
desc: |-
Specify a different font. This new font will apply to the
current line and everything following. You can use a $font with no
arguments to change back to the default font (much like with $color).
args:
- (font)
- name: fontN
desc: |-
Change font to fontN configuration option, where N is a
digit between 0 and 9, inclusively.
- name: format_time
desc: |-
Format time given in seconds. This var only works when the
times_in_seconds configuration setting is on. Format is a string that
should start and end with a double quote `"` character. The quote
characters are not part of the output, \w,\d,\h,\m,\s,\(,\) and \\ are
replaced by weeks,days,hours,minutes,seconds,(,) and \. If you leave out a
unit, it's value will be expressed in the highest unit lower than the one
left out. Text between ()-chars will not be visible if a replaced unit in
this text is 0. If seconds is a decimal number 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).
You can also place a 'x' behind \S so you have all digits behind the point
and no trailing zero's. (also maximum 9).
args:
- seconds
- format
- name: forwarded_mails
desc: |-
Number of mails marked as forwarded in the specified mailbox
or mail spool if not. Only maildir type mailboxes are supported, mbox

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

Displays last N lines of supplied text file. The file is
checked every 'next_check' update. If next_check is not supplied,
Conky defaults to 2. Max of 30 lines can be displayed, or until the
text buffer is filled.
args:
- logfile
- lines
- (next_check)
- name: tcp_ping
desc: |-
Displays the number of microseconds it takes to get a reply
on a ping to to tcp 'port' on 'host'. 'port' is optional and has 80 as
default. This works on both open and closed ports, just make sure that
the port is not behind a firewall or you will get 'down' as answer.
It's best to test a closed port instead of an open port, you will get
a quicker response.
args:
- host
- (port)
- name: tcp_portmon
desc: |-
TCP port (both IPv6 and IPv4) monitor for specified local ports.
Port numbers must be in the range 1 to 65535. Valid items are:
| Item | Description |
|------------|------------------------------------------|
| `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 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.
Examples:
| Example | Description |
|--------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `${tcp_portmon 6881 6999 count}` | Displays the number of connections in the bittorrent port range |
| `${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 single port
range for different items and different indexes all use the same monitor
internally. In other words, the program avoids creating redundant
monitors.
args:
- port_begin
- port_end
- item
- (index)
- name: templateN
desc: |-
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.
Here are some examples of template definitions, note they are placed
between `[[ ... ]]` instead of ` ... `:
```lua
template0 = [[$12]]
template1 = [[1: ${fs_used 2} / ${fs_size 2}]]
template2 = [[1 2]]
```
The following list shows sample usage of the templates defined above,
with the equivalent syntax when not using any template at all:
| Using template | Same without template |
|-----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| `${template0 node name}` | `$nodename` |
| `${template1 root /}` | `root: ${fs_free /} / ${fs_size /}` |
| `${template1 ${template2 disk root} /}` | `disk root: ${fs_free /} / ${fs_size /}` |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |

- name: texeci
desc: |-
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 than 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.
