hello guys/gals.

i have seen conky threads for linux, but i would like to see thread for *BSD's.

here is super simple conky for my bridge (openbsd 6.7).

Code:

background yes
no_buffers yes
out_to_console no
top_cpu_separate no
cpu_avg_samples 2
net_avg_samples 3
update_interval 1


own_window yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
own_window_type override

uppercase yes
override_utf8_locale yes
short_units no
pad_percents 0
text_buffer_size 1024
max_user_text 131072
use_xft yes
xftalpha 0.5
xftfont size=16

#-----Graphics Settings
double_buffer yes
draw_borders no
draw_graph_borders yes
draw_shades no
draw_outline no
max_specials 4096
imlib_cache_size 0

#-----Layout Settings
alignment top_right
gap_x 50
gap_y 50
maximum_width 600
minimum_size 360 180
use_spacer right

TEXT
$sysname $kernel on $machine

${time %A}$alignr${time %F}

Uptime $alignr $uptime

$nodename $sysname $kernel on $machine
CPU0: ${freq}MHz $cpu% $cpubar
CPU1: ${freq}MHz $cpu% $cpubar

RAM ($memmax): $memperc% ${membar 6}$color
Swap ($swapmax): $swapperc% ${swapbar 6}$color

Hostname $alignr $nodename
re0 $alignr ${addr re0}

Download $alignr ${downspeed re0} kb/s
${downspeedgraph re0}
Upload $alignr ${upspeed re0} kb/s
${upspeedgraph re0}

its not completed, just hacked it as a temporary one.

Personally, I think that any conky or other visual information is a "Visual pollution". It is important to have diagnostic tools at the right time, but keeping it on the screen is distracting for better task like "when will be the party with my friends". So, perhaps I could help you with conky because I already was trying with it, but honestly, what you achieved is "good enough" and I personally recommend you move asap to the next project ("scratching the back of your (girl)friend like the neanderthalers made it since 100.000 years"? or other linux projects).

Very nice, on OpenBSD I like to use xconsole(1) with simple cron scripts echoing to /dev/console

I download and parse weather info from NOAA, echo cpu temp and other stats. Plus you will see some OpenBSD specific events to /dev/console.

Note, if you decide to pull from NOAA you should only pull info at most once per around 90 minutes or so. If you pull too often your IP will be banned.

This is uncalled for, I am wondering if I should report this, but holding off for now.

Anyway, //////, I found my Conky config I use to use when on OpenBSD and it is attached here.
