Multiple conky not working
Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2013 4:12 pm
I am trying to run this [url]http://didi79.deviantart.com/art/conky-config-127651851[/url] conky. It has 2 .conkyrc files and a few other files including some .sh ones. I have put a script in my ~/bin folder named conky_start and made it executable which has the following code:
Needless to say .conkyrc_1 and .conkyrc_2 are the two conkyrc files and I have stored them in the ~/.conky folder. I have also made an entry in Startup Applications which has name Conky and command (pointing to the file in ~/bin):
Now my question is, where do the files other than the two conkyrc files go? In the ~/bin folder or inside the ~/.conly folder? Is the placement of files I've described the right one for running multiple conkies at once? I've googled a lot about this and I'm only getting confused with everything I've read, tried my luck by placing every file in both ~/bin and ~/.conky but to no gain. I've also done a lot of hit and trial stuff with the location, naming of files etc but conky doesn't start when I boot my system, it does sometimes though when I login after logging out.
Any help would be appreciated! Peace.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
sleep 20
conky -c ~/.conky/.conkyrc_1 &
conky -c ~/.conky/.conkyrc_2
Code: Select all
conky_start
