NAME
       conky  -  A system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code, but more kickass. It
       just keeps on given'er. Yeah.

SYNOPSIS
       conky [ options ]

DESCRIPTION
       Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on torsmo. Since its inception, Conky has
       changed significantly from its predecessor, while maintaining simplicity and configurabil‐
       ity. Conky can display just about anything, either on your root desktop or in its own win‐
       dow.  Not  only  does Conky have many built-in objects, it can also display just about any
       piece of information by using scripts and other external programs.

       Conky has more than 250 built in objects, including support for a  plethora  of  OS  stats
       (uname,  uptime,  CPU  usage, mem usage, disk usage, "top" like process stats, and network
       monitoring, just to name a few), built in IMAP and POP3 support, built in support for many
       popular  music  players (MPD, XMMS2, BMPx, Audacious), and much much more.  Conky can dis‐
       play this info either as text, or using simple progress bars and graph widgets, with  dif‐
       ferent fonts and colours.

       We  are  always  looking for help, whether its reporting bugs, writing patches, or writing
       docs. Please use the facilities at SourceForge to make bug reports, feature requests,  and
       submit  patches,  or  stop  by #conky on irc.freenode.net if you have questions or want to
       contribute.

       Thanks for your interest in Conky.

COMPILING
       For users compiling from source on a binary distro, make sure you have the  X  development
       libraries  installed (Unless you provide configure with "--disable-x11"). This should be a
       package along the lines of "libx11-dev" or "xorg-x11-dev" for X11 libs, and similar "-dev"
       format  for  the  other libs required (depending on your configure options). You should be
       able to see which extra packages you need to install by reading errors that you  get  from
       './configure'. You can enable/disable stuff by giving options to configure, but be careful
       with disabling. For example: with --disable-math you  won't  get  errors  but  logarithmic
       graphs will be normal graphs and gauges will miss their line.

       Conky  has  (for  some  time) been available in the repositories of most popular distribu‐
       tions. Here are some installation instructions for a few:

       Gentoo users -- Conky is in Gentoo's Portage...  simply use "emerge  app-admin/conky"  for
       installation.

       Debian,  etc. users -- Conky should be in your repositories, and can be installed by doing
       "aptitude install conky".

       Example to compile and run Conky with all optional components (note  that  some  configure
       options may differ for your system):

       sh autogen.sh # Only required if building from the git repo

       ./configure      --prefix=/usr      --mandir=/usr/share/man      --infodir=/usr/share/info
       --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --disable-own-window --en‐
       able-audacious[=yes|no|legacy]   --enable-bmpx   --disable-hddtemp   --disable-mpd   --en‐
       able-xmms2 --disable-portmon --disable-network --enable-debug --disable-x11 --disable-dou‐
       ble-buffer --disable-xdamage --disable-xft

       make

       make install # Optional

       src/conky

       Conky  has  been  tested  to be compatible with C99 C, however it has not been tested with
       anything other than gcc, and is not guaranteed to work with other compilers.

YOU SHOULD KNOW
       Conky is generally very good on resources. That said, the more you try to make  Conky  do,
       the more resources it is going to consume.

       An  easy way to force Conky to reload your ~/.conkyrc: "killall -SIGUSR1 conky". Saves you
       the trouble of having to kill and then restart. You can now also do the same with SIGHUP.

OPTIONS
       Command line options override configurations defined in configuration file.

CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
       Default configuration file location is $HOME/.conkyrc  or  ${sysconfdir}/conky/conky.conf.
       On  most  systems,  sysconfdir  is  /etc,  and  you  can find the sample config file there
       (/etc/conky/conky.conf).

       You might want to copy it to $HOME/.conkyrc and then start modifying it. Other configs can
       be found at http://conky.sf.net/

       TEXT   After  this  begins text to be formatted on screen.  Backslash (\) escapes newlines
              in the text section. This can be useful for cleaning up config files where conky is
              used to pipe input to dzen2.


       alignment
              Aligned  position  on  screen, may be top_left, top_right, top_middle, bottom_left,
              bottom_right, bottom_middle, middle_left, middle_middle, middle_right, or none (al‐
              so  can  be  abreviated  as tl, tr, tm, bl, br, bm, ml, mm, mr). See also gap_x and
              gap_y.


       append_file
              Append the file given as argument.


       background
              Boolean value, if true, Conky will be forked to background when started.


       border_inner_margin
              Inner border margin in pixels (the margin between the border and text).


       border_outer_margin
              Outer border margin in pixels (the margin between the border and the  edge  of  the
              window).


       border_width
              Border width in pixels.


       colorN Predefine  a color for use inside TEXT segments.  Substitute N by a digit between 0
              and 9, inclusively. When specifying the color value in hex, omit the  leading  hash
              (#).


       cpu_avg_samples
              The number of samples to average for CPU monitoring.


       default_bar_size
              Specify a default width and height for bars.  Example: 'default_bar_size 0 6'. This
              is particularly useful for execbar and execibar as they do not take size arguments.


       default_color
              Default color and border color


       default_gauge_size
              Specify a default width and height for  gauges.   Example:  'default_gauge_size  25
              25'.  This  is particularly useful for execgauge and execigauge as they do not take
              size arguments


       default_graph_size
              Specify a default width and height for graphs.  Example: 'default_graph_size 0 25'.
              This  is  particularly useful for execgraph and execigraph as they do not take size
              arguments


       default_outline_color
              Default outline color


       default_shade_color
              Default shading color and border's shading color


       disable_auto_reload
              Enable to disable the inotify-based auto config reload feature.


       diskio_avg_samples
              The number of samples to average for disk I/O monitoring.


       display
              Specify an X display to connect to.


       double_buffer
              Use the Xdbe extension? (eliminates flicker) It is highly recommended  to  use  own
              window with this one so double buffer won't be so big.


       draw_borders
              Draw borders around text?


       draw_graph_borders
              Draw borders around graphs?

       draw_shades
              Draw shades?


       extra_newline
              Put  an extra newline at the end when writing to stdout, useful for writing to awe‐
              some's wiboxes.


       font   Font name in X, xfontsel can be used to get a nice font


       format_human_readable
              If enabled, values which are in bytes will be  printed  in  human  readable  format
              (i.e., KiB, MiB, etc). If disabled, the number of bytes is printed instead.


       gap_x  Gap,  in pixels, between right or left border of screen, same as passing -x at com‐
              mand line, e.g. gap_x 10.  For other position related stuff, see 'alignment'.


       gap_y  Gap, in pixels, between top or bottom border of screen, same as passing -y at  com‐
              mand line, e.g. gap_y 10.  For other position related stuff, see 'alignment'.


       hddtemp_host
              Hostname to connect to for hddtemp objects. Defaults to "127.0.0.1".


       hddtemp_port
              Port to use for hddtemp connections. Defaults to 7634.


       if_up_strictness
              How strict should if_up be when testing an interface for being up? The value is one
              of up, link or address, to check for the interface being solely up,  being  up  and
              having link or being up, having link and an assigned IP address.


       imap   Default  global  IMAP  server. Arguments are: "host user pass [-i interval (in sec‐
              onds)] [-f 'folder'] [-p port] [-e 'command'] [-r retries]". Default port  is  143,
              default folder is 'INBOX', default interval is 5 minutes, and default number of re‐
              tries before giving up is 5. If the password  is  supplied  as  '*',  you  will  be
              prompted to enter the password when Conky starts.


       imlib_cache_flush_interval
              Interval (in seconds) to flush Imlib2 cache.


       imlib_cache_size
              Imlib2 image cache size, in bytes. Defaults to 4MiB. Increase this value if you use
              $image lots. Set to 0 to disable the image cache.


       lua_draw_hook_post function_name [function arguments]
              This function, if defined, will be called by Conky  through  each  iteration  after
              drawing  to the window. Requires X support. Takes any number of optional arguments.
              Use this hook for drawing things on top of what Conky draws. Conky puts 'conky_' in
              front of function_name to prevent accidental calls to the wrong function unless you
              place 'conky_' in front of it yourself.


       lua_draw_hook_pre function_name [function arguments]
              This function, if defined, will be called by Conky through  each  iteration  before
              drawing  to the window. Requires X support. Takes any number of optional arguments.
              Use this hook for drawing things on top of what Conky draws. Conky puts 'conky_' in
              front of function_name to prevent accidental calls to the wrong function unless you
              place 'conky_' in front of it yourself.


       lua_load
              Loads the Lua scripts separated by spaces.


       lua_shutdown_hook function_name [function arguments]
              This function, if defined, will be called by Conky at shutdown or when the configu‐
              ration is reloaded. Use this hook to clean up after yourself, such as freeing memo‐
              ry which has been allocated by external libraries via Lua. Conky puts  'conky_'  in
              front of function_name to prevent accidental calls to the wrong function unless you
              place 'conky_' in front of it yourself.


       lua_startup_hook function_name [function arguments]
              This function, if defined, will be called by Conky at startup or when the  configu‐
              ration is reloaded.  Use this hook to initialize values, or for any run-once appli‐
              cations. Conky puts 'conky_' in front of function_name to prevent accidental  calls
              to the wrong function unless you place 'conky_' in front of it yourself.


       mail_spool
              Mail spool for mail checking


       max_port_monitor_connections
              Allow  each  port  monitor to track at most this many connections (if 0 or not set,
              default is 256)


       max_specials
              Maximum number of special things, e.g. fonts, offsets,  aligns,  etc.  (default  is
              512)


       max_text_width width
              When  a  line  in  the output contains 'width' chars and the end isn't reached, the
              next char will start on a new line. If you want to make sure that lines  don't  get
              broken, set 'width' to 0


       max_user_text bytes
              Maximum  size  of user text buffer, i.e. layout below TEXT line in config file (de‐
              fault is 16384 bytes)


       maximum_width pixels
              Maximum width of window


       minimum_size width (height)
              Minimum size of window


       mpd_host
              Host of MPD server


       mpd_password
              MPD server password


       mpd_port
              Port of MPD server

              Music player thread update interval (defaults to Conky's update interval)


       net_avg_samples
              The number of samples to average for net data


       no_buffers
              Subtract (file system) buffers from used memory?


       out_to_console
              Print text to stdout.


       out_to_ncurses
              Print text in the console, but use ncurses so that conky can print the  text  of  a
              new update over the old text. (In the future this will provide more useful things)


       out_to_stderr
              Print text to stderr.


       out_to_x
              When  set to no, there will be no output in X (useful when you also use things like
              out_to_console). If you set it to no, make sure that it's placed before  all  other
              X-related setting (take the first line of your configfile to be sure). Default val‐
              ue is yes


       override_utf8_locale
              Force UTF8? requires XFT


       overwrite_file
              Overwrite the file given as argument.


       own_window
              Boolean, create own window to draw?


       own_window_class
              Manually set the WM_CLASS name. Defaults to "Conky".


       own_window_colour colour
              If own_window_transparent no,  set  a  specified  background  colour  (defaults  to
              black). Takes either a hex value (e.g. ffffff, note the lack of '#') or a valid RGB
              name (see /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt)


       own_window_hints undecorated,below,above,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
              If own_window is yes, you may use these window manager  hints  to  affect  the  way
              Conky displays. Notes: Use own_window_type desktop as another way to implement many
              of these hints implicitly. If you  use  own_window_type  override,  window  manager
              hints have no meaning and are ignored.


       own_window_title
              Manually set the window name. Defaults to "<hostname> - conky".


       own_window_argb_visual
              Boolean,  use ARGB visual? ARGB can be used for real transparency, note that a com‐
              posite manager is required for real transparency. This option will not work as  de‐
              sired (in most cases) in conjunction with 'own_window_type override'.


       own_window_argb_value
              When  ARGB visuals are enabled, this use this to modify the alpha value used. Valid
              range is 0-255, where 0 is 0% opacity, and  255  is  100%  opacity.  Note  that  if
              own_window_transparent is enabled, this value has no effect.


       own_window_transparent
              Boolean,  set  transparency?  If ARGB visual is enabled, sets background opacity to
              0%.


       own_window_type
              if own_window is yes, you may specify type normal, desktop, dock, panel or override
              (default: normal).  Desktop windows are special windows that have no window decora‐
              tions; are always visible on your desktop; do not appear in your pager or  taskbar;
              and  are  sticky across all workspaces. Panel windows reserve space along a desktop
              edge, just like panels and taskbars, preventing maximized windows from  overlapping
              them.  The  edge  is chosen based on the alignment option. Override windows are not
              under the control of the window manager. Hints are ignored. This type of window can
              be useful for certain situations.


       pad_percents
              Pad percentages to this many decimals (0 = no padding)


       pop3   Default  global  POP3  server. Arguments are: "host user pass [-i interval (in sec‐
              onds)] [-p port] [-e 'command'] [-r retries]". Default port is 110, default  inter‐
              val is 5 minutes, and default number of retries before giving up is 5. If the pass‐
              word is supplied as '*', you will be prompted to  enter  the  password  when  Conky
              starts.


       short_units
              Shortens units to a single character (kiB->k, GiB->G, etc.). Default is off.


       show_graph_range
              Shows the time range covered by a graph.


       show_graph_scale
              Shows the maximum value in scaled graphs.


       stippled_borders
              Border stippling (dashing) in pixels


       temperature_unit
              Desired  output unit of all objects displaying a temperature. Parameters are either
              "fahrenheit" or "celsius". The default unit is degree Celsius.


       templateN
              Define a template for later use inside TEXT segments. Substitute N by a  digit  be‐
              tween  0  and  9, inclusively. The value of the variable is being inserted into the
              stuff below TEXT at the corresponding position, but before some  substitutions  are
              applied:

              '\n' -> newline
              '\\' -> backslash
              '\ ' -> space
              '\N' -> template argument N


       text_buffer_size bytes
              Size  of  the  standard text buffer (default is 256 bytes). This buffer is used for
              intermediary text, such as individual lines, output from $exec  vars,  and  various
              other  variables. Increasing the size of this buffer can drastically reduce Conky's
              performance, but will allow for more text display per variable. The  size  of  this
              buffer cannot be smaller than the default value of 256 bytes.


       times_in_seconds
              If  true, variables that output times output a number that represents seconds. This
              doesn't affect $time, $tztime and $utime


       top_cpu_separate
              If true, cpu in top will show usage of one processor's power. If false, cpu in  top
              will show the usage of all processors' power combined.


       top_name_width

OBJECTS/VARIABLES
       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, $rss and $weather  objects  launch
       one thread per URI).

              CPU  usage graph, with optional colours in hex, minus the #. See $cpu for more info
              on SMP. Uses a logarithmic scale (to see small numbers) when you use the -l switch.
              Takes  the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient, which makes the gradient val‐
              ues change depending on the amplitude of a particular graph value (try it and see).


       curl url (interval_in_minutes)
              Download data from URI using Curl at the specified interval. The interval may be  a
              floating  point value greater than 0, otherwise defaults to 15 minutes. Most useful
              when used in conjunction with Lua and the Lua API. This  object  is  threaded,  and
              once a thread is created it can't be explicitly destroyed.  One thread will run for
              each URI specified. You can use any protocol that Curl supports.

       (-l)
              Disk  IO  graph,  colours defined in hex, minus the #. If scale is non-zero, it be‐
              comes the scale for the graph. Uses a logarithmic scale (to see small numbers) when
              you use -l switch. Takes the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient, which makes
              the gradient values change depending on the amplitude of a particular  graph  value
              (try it and see).


       diskiograph_read (device) (height),(width) (gradient colour 1) (gradient colour 2) (scale)
       (-t) (-l)
              Disk IO graph for reads, colours defined in hex, minus the #. If scale is non-zero,
              it  becomes  the scale for the graph. Device as in diskio. Uses a logarithmic scale
              (to see small numbers) when you use -l switch. Takes the switch '-t' to use a  tem‐
              perature  gradient,  which makes the gradient values change depending on the ampli‐
              tude of a particular graph value (try it and see).


       diskiograph_write (device)  (height),(width)  (gradient  colour  1)  (gradient  colour  2)
       (scale) (-t) (-l)
              Disk  IO graph for writes, colours defined in hex, minus the #. If scale is non-ze‐
              ro, it becomes the scale for the graph. Device as in  diskio.  Uses  a  logarithmic
              scale (to see small numbers) when you use -l switch. Takes the switch '-t' to use a
              temperature gradient, which makes the gradient values change depending on  the  am‐
              plitude of a particular graph value (try it and see).

              Download speed graph, colours defined in hex, minus the #. If scale is non-zero, it
              becomes  the  scale  for the graph. Uses a logarithmic scale (to see small numbers)
              when you use -l switch. Takes the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient,  which
              makes  the  gradient values change depending on the amplitude of a particular graph
              value (try it and see).

              Fetches   your   currently   training   skill  from  the  Eve  Online  API  servers
              (http://www.eve-online.com/) and displays the skill along with the remaining train‐
              ing time.


       exec command
              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
              and posting a patch.


       execbar command
              Same  as  exec,  except if the first value return is a value between 0-100, it will
              use that number for a bar.  The size  for  bars  can  be  controlled  via  the  de‐
              fault_bar_size config setting.


       execgauge command
              Same  as exec, except if the first value returned is a value between 0-100, it will
              use that number for a gauge. The size for gauges can  be  controlled  via  the  de‐
              fault_gauge_size config setting.


       execgraph (-t) (-l) command
              Same as execbar, but graphs values. Uses a logaritmic scale when the log option (-l
              switch) is given (to see small numbers). Values still have to be between 0 and 100.
              The  size  for  graphs can be controlled via the default_graph_size config setting.
              Takes the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient, which makes the gradient  val‐
              ues change depending on the amplitude of a particular graph value (try it and see).
              If -t or -l is your first argument, you may need to preceed it by a space (' ').


       execi interval command
              Same as exec but with specific interval. Interval can't be less than  update_inter‐
              val in configuration. See also $texeci


       execibar interval command
              Same as execbar, except with an interval


       execigauge interval command
              Same as execgauge, but takes an interval arg and gauges values.


       execigraph interval (-t) (-l) command
              Same as execgraph, but takes an interval arg and graphs values. If -t or -l is your
              first argument, you may need to preceed it by a space (' ').


       execp command
              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
              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.


       execpi interval command
              Same as execp but with specific interval.  Interval can't be less  than  update_in‐
              terval  in  configuration.  Note  that the output from the $execpi command is still
              parsed and evaluated at every interval.


       flagged_mails (maildir) (interval)
              Number of mails marked as flagged in the specified mailbox or mail  spool  if  not.
              Only maildir type mailboxes are supported, mbox type will return -1.


       font (font)
              Specify  a  different font. This new font will apply to the current line and every‐
              thing following. You can use a $font with no arguments to change back  to  the  de‐
              fault font (much like with $color)


       format_time seconds format
              Format time given in seconds. This var only works when the times_in_seconds config‐
              uration setting is on. Format is a string that should start and end with a  "-char.
              The "-chars 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 unite lower then 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)


       forwarded_mails (maildir) (interval)
              Number of mails marked as forwarded in the specified mailbox or mail spool if  not.
              Only maildir type mailboxes are supported, mbox type will return -1.


       freq (n)
              Returns CPU #n's frequency in MHz. CPUs are counted from 1. If omitted, the parame‐
              ter defaults to 1.

       image <path to image> (-p x,y) (-s WxH) (-n) (-f interval)
              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.  Alter‐
              nately,  you  can specify the -f int switch to specify a cache flust 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  im‐
              ages, they are just rendered as per the arguments passed. The only reason $image is
              part of the TEXT section, is to allow for  runtime  modifications,  through  $execp
              $lua_parse, or some other method.


       imap_messages (args)
              Displays  the  number of messages in your global IMAP inbox by default. You can de‐
              fine individual IMAP inboxes separately by passing arguments to this object.  Argu‐
              ments  are:  "host user pass [-i interval (in seconds)] [-f 'folder'] [-p port] [-e
              'command'] [-r retries]". Default port is 143, default folder is  'INBOX',  default
              interval  is 5 minutes, and default number of retries before giving up is 5. If the
              password is supplied as '*', you will be prompted to enter the password when  Conky
              starts.


       imap_unseen (args)
              Displays  the  number  of unseen messages in your global IMAP inbox by default. You
              can define individual IMAP inboxes separately by passing arguments to this  object.
              Arguments  are:  "host user pass [-i interval (in seconds)] [-f 'folder'] [-p port]
              [-e 'command'] [-r retries]".  Default port is 143, default folder is 'INBOX',  de‐
              fault  interval  is 5 minutes, and default number of retries before giving up is 5.
              If the password is supplied as '*', you will be prompted to enter the password when
              Conky starts.

              Uses  a logarithmic scale (to see small numbers) when you use the -l switch.  Takes
              the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient,  which  makes  the  gradient  values
              change depending on the amplitude of a particular graph value (try it and see).


       lua function_name (function parameters)
              Executes a Lua function with given parameters, then prints the returned string. See
              also 'lua_load' on how to load scripts. Conky  puts  'conky_'  in  front  of  func‐
              tion_name  to  prevent  accidental  calls  to the wrong function unless you put you
              place 'conky_' in front of it yourself.

              Executes  a  Lua  function  with given parameters and draws a gauge. Expects result
              value to be an integer between 0 and 100.  See  also  'lua_load'  on  how  to  load
              scripts.  Conky puts 'conky_' in front of function_name to prevent accidental calls
              to the wrong function unless you put you place 'conky_' in front of it yourself.


       lua_graph function_name (height),(width) (gradient colour 1) (gradient colour  2)  (scale)
       (-t) (-l)
              Executes  a  Lua  function  with and draws a graph.  Expects result value to be any
              number, and by default will scale to show the full range. See  also  'lua_load'  on
              how  to  load  scripts.  Takes the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient, which
              makes the gradient values change depending on the amplitude of a  particular  graph
              value  (try  it  and see). Conky puts 'conky_' in front of function_name to prevent
              accidental calls to the wrong function unless you put you place 'conky_'  in  front
              of it yourself.


       lua_parse function_name (function parameters)
              Executes  a  Lua function with given parameters as per $lua, then parses and prints
              the result value as per the syntax for Conky's TEXT section. See also 'lua_load' on
              how to load scripts. Conky puts 'conky_' in front of function_name to prevent acci‐
              dental calls to the wrong function unless you put you place 'conky_' in front of it
              yourself.

       platform (dev) type n (factor offset)
              Platform sensor from sysfs (Linux 2.6). Parameter dev may be omitted  if  you  have
              only  one  platform device.  Platform type is either 'in' or 'vol' meaning voltage;
              'fan' meaning fan; 'temp' meaning temperature. Parameter n is number of the sensor.
              See /sys/bus/platform/devices/ on your local computer. The optional arguments 'fac‐
              tor' 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 dec‐
              imal values (i.e. contain at least one decimal place).


       pop3_unseen (args)
              Displays the number of unseen messages in your global POP3 inbox  by  default.  You
              can  define individual POP3 inboxes separately by passing arguments to this object.
              Arguments are: "host user pass [-i interval (in seconds)] [-p port] [-e  'command']
              [-r retries]". Default port is 110, default interval is 5 minutes, and default num‐
              ber of retries before giving up is 5. If the password is supplied as '*', you  will
              be prompted to enter the password when Conky starts.


       pop3_used (args)
              Displays  the  amount of space (in MiB, 2^20) used in your global POP3 inbox by de‐
              fault. You can define individual POP3 inboxes separately by  passing  arguments  to
              this  object.  Arguments  are: "host user pass [-i interval (in seconds)] [-p port]
              [-e 'command'] [-r retries]". Default port is 110, default interval is  5  minutes,
              and default number of retries before giving up is 5. If the password is supplied as
              '*', you will be prompted to enter the password when Conky starts.


       pre_exec shell command
              Executes a shell command one time before conky displays anything and puts output as
              text.

       replied_mails (maildir) (interval)
              Number of mails marked as replied in the specified mailbox or mail  spool  if  not.
              Only maildir type mailboxes are supported, mbox type will return -1.


       rss uri interval_in_minutes action (num_par (spaces_in_front))
              Download  and  parse  RSS feeds. The interval may be a floating point value greater
              than 0, otherwise defaults to 15 minutes. Action  may  be  one  of  the  following:
              feed_title,  item_title  (with  num  par), item_desc (with num par) and item_titles
              (when using this action and spaces_in_front is given conky places that many  spaces
              in  front  of  each item). This object is threaded, and once a thread is created it
              can't be explicitly destroyed. One thread will run for each URI specified. You  can
              use any protocol that Curl supports.

       running_processes
              Running processes (not sleeping), requires Linux 2.6


       running_threads
              Number of running (runnable) threads. Linux only.


       scroll length (step) text
              Scroll  'text'  by  'step'  characters showing 'length' number of characters at the
              same time. The text may also contain variables. 'step' is optional and defaults  to
              1  if  not set. If a var creates output on multiple lines then the lines are placed
              behind each other separated with a '|'-sign. If you  change  the  textcolor  inside
              $scroll  it  will automatically have it's old value back at the end of $scroll. The
              end and the start of text will be separated by 'length' number of spaces.


       seen_mails (maildir) (interval)
              Number of mails marked as seen in the specified mailbox or mail spool if not.  Only
              maildir type mailboxes are supported, mbox type will return -1.


       shadecolor (color)
              Change shading color


       smapi (ARGS)
              when  using  smapi,  display contents of the /sys/devices/platform/smapi directory.
              ARGS are either '(FILENAME)' or 'bat (INDEX) (FILENAME)' to display the correspond‐
              ing  files'  content. This is a very raw method of accessing the smapi values. When
              available, better use one of the smapi_* variables instead.


       smapi_bat_bar (INDEX),(height),(width)
              when using smapi, display the remaining capacity of the battery with index INDEX as
              a bar.


       smapi_bat_perc (INDEX)
              when using smapi, display the remaining capacity in percent of the battery with in‐
              dex INDEX. This is a separate variable because it supports the 'use_spacer' config‐
              uration option.


       smapi_bat_power INDEX
              when  using  smapi,  display  the  current power of the battery with index INDEX in
              watt. This is a separate variable because the original read out value is being con‐
              verted  from mW. The sign of the output reflects charging (positive) or discharging
              (negative) state.


       smapi_bat_temp INDEX
              when using smapi, display the current temperature of the battery with  index  INDEX
              in  degree Celsius. This is a separate variable because the original read out value
              is being converted from milli degree Celsius.


       sony_fanspeed
              Displays the Sony VAIO fanspeed information if sony-laptop kernel  support  is  en‐
              abled. Linux only.


       stippled_hr (space)
              Stippled (dashed) horizontal line


       swap   Amount of swap in use


       swapbar (height),(width)
              Bar that shows amount of swap in use


       swapfree
              Amount of free swap


       swapmax
              Total amount of swap


       swapperc
              Percentage of swap in use


       sysname
              System name, Linux for example


       tab (width, (start))
              Puts a tab of the specified width, starting from column 'start'. The unit is pixels
              for both arguments.


       tail logfile lines (next_check)
              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.


       tcp_portmon port_begin port_end item (index)
              TCP port (both IPv6 and IPv4) monitor for specified local ports. Port numbers  must
              be in the range 1 to 65535. Valid items are:

              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 moni‐
              tor. The monitor will return information for index values from  0  to  n-1  connec‐
              tions.  Values  higher than n-1 are simply ignored.  For the "count" item, the con‐
              nection index must be omitted. It is required for all other items.

              Examples:

              ${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.

       templateN (arg1) (arg2) (arg3 ...)
              Evaluate  the  content  of the templateN configuration variable (where N is a value
              between 0 and 9, inclusively), applying substitutions as described in the  documen‐
              tation  of the corresponding configuration variable. The number of arguments is op‐
              tional, 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 defini‐
              tion, 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:

              template0 $\1\2
              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\   disk  root:   ${fs_free   /}   /
              root} /}                           ${fs_size /}

       texeci interval command
              Runs a command at an interval inside a thread and displays the output. Same as $ex‐
              eci, 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 sec‐
              onds 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.

       to_bytes size
              If 'size' is a number followed by a size-unit (kilobyte,mb,GiB,...)  then  it  con‐
              verts the size to bytes and shows it without unit, otherwise it just shows 'size'.


       top type num
              This  takes  arguments  in  the  form:top  (name) (number) Basically, processes are
              ranked from highest to lowest in terms of cpu usage, which  is  what  (num)  repre‐
              sents.  The types are: "name", "pid", "cpu", "mem", "mem_res", "mem_vsize", "time",
              "io_perc", "io_read" and "io_write". There can be a max of 10 processes listed.


       top_io type num
              Same as top, except sorted by the amount of I/O the process has done during the up‐
              date interval

              Number  of  mails  not  marked as replied in the specified mailbox or mail spool if
              not. Only maildir type mailboxes are supported, mbox type will return -1.


       unseen_mails (maildir) (interval)
              Number of new or unseen mails in the specified mailbox or mail spool if  not.  Only
              maildir type mailboxes are supported, mbox type will return -1.


       updates Number of updates
              for debugging


       upspeed (net)
              Upload speed in suitable IEC units


       upspeedf (net)
              Upload speed in KiB with one decimal


       upspeedgraph  (netdev)  (height),(width)  (gradient  colour 1) (gradient colour 2) (scale)
       (-t) (-l)
              Upload speed graph, colours defined in hex, minus the #. If scale is  non-zero,  it
              becomes  the  scale  for the graph. Uses a logarithmic scale (to see small numbers)
              when you use the -l switch. Takes the switch '-t' to use  a  temperature  gradient,
              which  makes  the gradient values change depending on the amplitude of a particular
              graph value (try it and see).

       weather URI locID data_type (interval_in_minutes)
              Download, parse and display METAR data.

              For the 'URI', there are two possibilities:

              http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/stations/
              http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/

              The  first  one  is  free to use but the second requires you to register and obtain
              your partner ID and license key. These two must be written, separated by  a  space,
              into a file called .xoaprc which needs to be placed into your home directory.

              'locID' must be a valid location identifier for the required uri. For the NOAA site
              this must be a  valid  ICAO  (see  for  instance  https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/qry‐
              html/icao/). For the weather.com site this must be a valid location ID (see for in‐
              stance http://aspnetresources.com/tools/locid.aspx).

              'data_type' must be one of the following:

              last_update The date and time stamp of the data.  The result  depends  on  the  URI
              used.  For the NOAA site it is date (yyyy/mm/dd) and UTC time.  For the weather.com
              one it is date ([m]m/[d]d/yy) and Local Time of the station.
              temperature

              Air temperature (you can use the 'temperature_unit' config setting to change units)
              cloud_cover

              The highest cloud cover status
              pressure

              Air pressure in millibar
              wind_speed

              Wind speed in km/h
              wind_dir

              Wind direction
              wind_dir_DEG

              Compass wind direction
              humidity

              Relative humidity in %
              weather

              Any relevant weather event (rain, snow, etc.). This is not used if you are querying
              the weather.com site since this data is aggregated into the cloud_cover one
              icon

              Weather  icon  (only  for  www.weather.com). Can be used together with the icon kit
              provided upon registering to their service.

              'delay_in_minutes' (optional, default 30) cannot be less than 30 minutes.

              This object is threaded, and once a thread is created it can't  be  explicitly  de‐
              stroyed. One thread will run for each URI specified.

              Note  that these variables are still EXPERIMENTAL and can be subject to many future
              changes.

       weather_forecast URI locID day data_type (interval_in_minutes)
              Download, parse and display weather forecast data for a given day (daytime only).

              For the 'URI', for the time being  only  http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/  is
              supported. See 'weather' above for details of usage

              'locID', see 'weather' above.

              'day' is a number from 0 (today) to 4 (3 days after tomorrow).

              'data_type' must be one of the following:

              day Day of the week
              date Date, in the form MMM DD (ie. Jul 14)
              low  Minimun  temperature  (you  can  use  the 'temperature_unit' config setting to
              change units)
              hi Maximum temperature (you can use the 'temperature_unit' config setting to change
              units)
              icon Weather icon. Can be used together with the icon kit provided upon registering
              to the weather.com service
              forecast Weather forecast (sunny, rainy, etc.)
              wind_speed Wind speed in km/h
              wind_dir Wind direction
              wind_dir_DEG Compass wind direction
              humidity Relative humidity in %
              precipitation Probability of having a precipitation (in %)

              'delay_in_minutes' (optional, default 210) cannot be lower than 210 min.

              This object is threaded, and once a thread is created it can't  be  explicitly  de‐
              stroyed.  One thread will run for each URI specified. You can use any protocol that
              Curl supports.

              Note that these variables are still EXPERIMENTAL and can be subject to many  future
              changes.

LUA API
       Conky features a Lua Programming API, and also ships with Lua bindings for some useful li‐
       braries.  Conky  defines certain global functions and variables which can be accessed from
       Lua code running in Conky.

       To use Lua Conky, you first need to make sure you have a version of Conky with Lua support
       enabled  (``conky  -v'' will report this). Scripts must first be loaded using the lua_load
       configuration option. You then call functions in Lua via Conky's $lua, $lua_read, and  Lua
       hooks.

       Be  careful  when  creating threaded objects through the Lua API. You could wind up with a
       whole bunch of threads running if a thread is created with each iteration.

       At this time, the Lua API should not be considered stable and may change drastically  from
       one release to another as it matures.

       NOTE:  In order to accommodate certain features in the cairo library's API, Conky will ex‐
       port a few additional functions for the creation of certain structures.  These  are  docu‐
       mented below.

       conky_parse(string) function
              This  function  takes  a  string that is evaluated as per Conky's TEXT section, and
              then returns a string with the result.

       conky_set_update_interval(number) function
              Sets Conky's update interval (in seconds) to 'number'.

       conky_window table
              This table contains some information about Conky's window. The following table  de‐
              scribes the values contained:

              drawable  Window's drawable (Xlib Drawable), requires Lua extras enabled at compile
              time.
              visual Window's visual (Xlib Visual), requires Lua extras enabled at compile time.
              display Window's display (Xlib Display), requires Lua  extras  enabled  at  compile
              time.
              width Window width (in pixels).
              height Window height (in pixels).
              border_inner_margin Window's inner border margin (in pixels).
              border_outer_margin Window's outer border margin (in pixels).
              border_width Window's border width (in pixels).
              text_start_x The x component of the starting coordinate of text drawing.
              text_start_y The y component of the starting coordinate of text drawing.
              text_width The width of the text drawing region.
              text_height The height of the text drawing region.

              NOTE: This table is only defined when X support is enabled.

       conky_info table
              This table contains some information about Conky's internal data. The following ta‐
              ble describes the values contained:

              update_interval Conky's update interval (in seconds).
              uptime System uptime, in seconds.

       conky_build_info string
              A string containing the build info for this particular instance of Conky, including
              the version, build date, and architecture.

       conky_build_date string
              A string containing the build date for this particular instance of Conky.

       conky_build_arch string
              A string containing the build architecture for this particular instance of Conky.

       conky_version string
              A string containing the version of the current instance of Conky.

       conky_config string
              A string containing the path of the current Conky configuration file.

       cairo_text_extents_t:create() function
              Call this function to return a new cairo_text_extents_t structure. A creation func‐
              tion for this structure is not provided by the cairo API. After calling  this,  you
              should  use tolua.takeownership() on the return value to ensure ownership is passed
              properly.

       cairo_font_extents_t:create() function
              Call this function to return a new cairo_font_extents_t structure. A creation func‐
              tion  for  this structure is not provided by the cairo API. After calling this, you
              should use tolua.takeownership() on the return value to ensure ownership is  passed
              properly.

       cairo_matrix_t:create() function
              Call  this  function  to return a new cairo_matrix_t structure. A creation function
              for this structure is not provided by the cairo API. After calling this, you should
              use tolua.takeownership() on the return value to ensure ownership is passed proper‐
              ly.

EXAMPLES
       conky -t '${time %D %H:%M}' -o -u 30
              Start Conky in its own window with date and clock as text and 30 sec update  inter‐
              val.

       conky -a top_left -x 5 -y 500 -d
              Start Conky to background at coordinates (5, 500).

       conky -C > ~/.conkyrc
              Do  not  start  Conky,  but  have  it  output  the  builtin  default config file to
              ~/.conkyrc for later customising.

FILES
       ${sysconfdir}/conky/conky.conf
              Default system-wide configuration file.  The value of ${sysconfdir} depends on  the
              compile-time options (most likely /etc).

       ~/.conkyrc
              Default personal configuration file.

BUGS
       Drawing  to  root  or some other desktop window directly doesn't work with all window man‐
       agers. Especially doesn't work well with Gnome and it has been reported  that  it  doesn't
       work with KDE either. Nautilus can be disabled from drawing to desktop with program gconf-
       editor. Uncheck show_desktop in /apps/nautilus/preferences/. There is -w switch  in  Conky
       to set some specific window id. You might find xwininfo -tree useful to find the window to
       draw to.  You can also use -o argument which makes Conky to create its own window. If  you
       do try running Conky in its own window, be sure to read up on the own_window_type settings
       and experiment.
