I have problems displaying the output of a of a script i wrote, and executing certain commands. I dont think it has anything to do with the script itself.
See attached image for how the conky's display looks funky
The line that's runs the script is
${execi 300 /usr/scripts/simple-rss-reader-v3.pl}
I also get display problems when running the command
${execi 30 tail -n5 /var/log/messages | fold -w70}
While conky is running with the line 'tail -n5 /var/log/messages' inserted i get these error. It seems sh is trying to execute the output of 'tail -n5 /var/log/messages | fold -w70'. See below for the output of 'tail -n5 /var/log/messages | fold -w70' in shell
sh: n/ru: No such file or directory
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
sh: -c: line 1: `n-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons )'
sh: n/ru: No such file or directory
I noticed that when i killall conky, i get this error when i have simple-rss-reader-v3.pl in conkyrc
*** glibc detected *** conky: free(): invalid next size (normal)
And when i have 'tail -n5 /var/log/messages | fold -w70' in conkyrc i get this error
*** glibc detected *** conky: double free or corruption
but when these are removed i get no error. See below for full error outputs
I get no errors or display problems with the following
${execi 30 tail -n3 /var/log/Xorg.0.log | fold -w70}
${execi 120 dmesg | tail -n5 | fold -w70}
I have tried to attach as much as posible, to help in debuging
