It uses mpd variables (disabled by config) and port_monitor (also disabled - cannot compile w/this under freebsd). once that was removed, it works . Not as stable as torsmo,i think (could be due to some of the options I use? including execbar). It crashes every so often, so i run it from within a script like this: [betom@ayiin] [Tue May 16 15:57:47 2006] ~ $ cat bin/loop_conky.sh #!/bin/sh # This script is a hack to keep conky running...it likes to die for no apparently good reason while true ; do # make sure we are still running within an X session X=`ps xa | egrep '\.[0-9][0-9]\ xfdesktop --display'` if [ "$X" = "" ] ; then break fi L=`ps xa | egrep '\.[0-9][0-9]\ conky'` if [ "$L" = "" ] ; then echo "=== Restarting conky `date` ===" nohup conky & fi sleep 20 done ----- I have had to remove the network graphs, as it seems to just core dump and NOT want to start up again if they are enabled.... then it starts working just fine again. no idea what the problem is. I'm running 6.1 from 14/05/2006, XFCE4, Xorg 6.9.03. Also running gkrellm2 and it has no problems reporting (neither did torsmo) (conky was tested by itself, without gkrellm in memory) I can provide my config if anyone wants. Regards, Beto
