Restart conky widget <SOLVED>

Post by ROUGEXIII »

Hi,

I use conky with conky-manager and the widgets includes
I have currently a problem with the resolution screen and have to reconfigure it at each computer start.
When i apply the new screen resolution the widgets are at the wrong place, i have to restart them on by one in conky-manager.

=> Is it possible to write a command line/script to do this for me in one clic?

Thanks for Help.

Create a new launcher on desktop. Application in terminal-- Use this as the command:

Code: Select all

killall -SIGUSR1 conky

The name of the widget in conky manager is "TeejeeTech/Network Panel"
I take a screenshot:

It just kills conky and then re-initiates .conky.rc. Look in that file.
All said though----The final solution will be taking care of the resolution problem.
