Conky Support, Codes and Screenshots

[jedi]

Good day Sector11!

Hey mrpeachy!  Good to see you here!  Sorry I don't have a quick scrot to post...  Conky, Conky, Conky....

[Sector11]

^ ^ @ falldown OK here's a list ... I don't think there is a single thing in here that isn't generic and the list is probably bigger than you want BUT it's as complete as I can make it.  Your job now to pick and choose:

TEXT
machine
uptime or uptime_short
kernel
nodename
nodename_short
freq
freq_g

time --- in it's various forms ... check out ${time %X} that's excellent for what you want.
- - except my locale isn't here, Argentina, (22:28:56), it's Canada (10:28:26 PM) so I use: ${time %T}    I gotta be different.

${time %T}

tcp_portmon --- this can be exausting is you wish.
I created a "FireWall Monitor" with this - conky later

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 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:

    ${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.

top --- and it's varients

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) represents. The types are: "name", "pid", "cpu", "mem", "mem_res",
        "mem_vsize", "time", "uid", "user", "io_perc", "io_read" and "io_write".
        There can be a max of 10 processes listed.

top_io
top_mem
top_time

tztime -> if you want to put various world times

user_names
user_number
user_terms
user_times


Hope that helps more than hinders.

PERFECT S11!!
Exactly what I was looking for.. a complete list and I knew you were the man to ask. 
Thank you S11. 

[falldown]

Had to refresh the thread a few times to see if that was really you Peachy..
Thanks for coming by and saying Hi!!
Hope life is treating you well Sir.. and look forward to seeing you around.

I have about 6 unfinished interactive conkys now..   
but I will finish them at some point.

[Sector11]

^ You're welcome.  Looking forward to seeing what your do with it.

Any questions just ask.

[falldown]

Here is the left side in action...
left-side interactive conky.mpeg

[VastOne]

That is just awesome!   

[falldown]

Thank you VastOne.
I am working on making it more "Generic" so that it is easier to setup and maintain.

[jedi]

Wow Sector11, that is a lot of useful info!!!  You should create a thread or something called Conky variables and arguments at the top of these forums that is quick to get to for those of us with Conky addiction problems.     There's a lot in here I didn't even know that Conky would/could do!  Thanks for this though I know it was intended as a Jumping off point for falldowns great work...

[jedi]

Falldown, all I can say is "THAT IS STUNNING"!!!!  Your work is an honor to ste** I mean *borrow*, and I can't wait for this one to be done!  I thought the last one I got from you was awesome but this, holy crap, this is way awesome!  When it's done/ready please let me know so I can have this beauty on my wonderful desktop that you've almost single-handedly created!  Thank-you in advance for this.

Also, big thanks and big Hello to mrpeachy.  I know it's his 'interactive lua' thats helped you get this tuned to perfection!!!

[falldown]

Thanks for the kind words Jed.
The genius is Peachy's script.. my contribution is only the part that is seen.
Right now I am trying a few different themes.. so maybe at some point an interactive conky can be a conky option for VSIDO.

[jedi]

The one in the video you made is perfection if you ask me!  I'd love to have one like it.  I'm just like S11 in that I can 'play' in others scripts, but am clueless to make one on my own.  Anyway, the one in the video looks great to me, and I'd love to have one just like it!!!  (hint hint hint)   

[jedi]

I can't remember, but I think the wallpaper came from jst_joe.  It's awesome!!!!  Conky on the left is the great one's (falldown) work, and the weather at top right is arclance's work.  The mail is courtesy of VastOne!!!

I'd like to take this time to say thanks to all the great artists at the VSIDO Community!  Your really making me look good when I post in other places!     Please keep up the great work!  My specialty is plagiarizing all of you guy's work!!! 

[Sector11]

I'm glad you like it Jed ... but all I did was start with a generic conky I have here and then went to one of three bookmarks that I have, no sense in recreating something that already exists and it kept up to date faster than I am aware at times: (the names are as they exist in my CPS+ bookmarks)



Conky - Below TEXT - Variables

The other two are also must for a true conky addict - if you don't have the three, you are not addicted.  OK, that's an opinion.

Conky - Above TEXT - Settings, and
Conky Lua API - I don't use this much . YET!

falldown you seeing that last one?

Then I added one of my many text files: /media/5/Conky/Tips-Tricks-info/Time_2.txt, because it is handy an had some info that I thought falldown might like to use.

There are 114 "items" in that Tips-Tricks-Info directory, 7 of them are sib-directories.
Over time I think most of that info will be found right here.  A LOT of it isn't even up at CPS.

[falldown]

You are the man S11! 

Most of my configs these days are through lua.. which use conky_parse.
I have yet to find a command that conky_parse cannot pull from conky.
