Conky script

Hi Jason,
Like you see, i made a new topic for the Conky stuff...

I used only a part of your script, conky_normal that i named .conkyrc
I changed the sensor ID from 1 sensor (PV panels)
I changed the Flukso lan IP adres
I installed Curl and Gawk
I installed of course Conky
I made a textfile with name: flukso-usage.sh and changed it rights in preferences to made it executable

Now i'm a bit stuck, how do i start it on a laptop desktop in Ubuntu 10.04 ?
Do i have to use also the first script (i use only conkyrc, not conkyrc_normal, conkyrc_bigflukso, and not conky_ups) ?
Sorry, i am a bit new on making bash scripts LOL

from a command shell you should be able to simply type conky to kick it off, assuming that the .conkyrc file you edited/created is the same one that conky uses by default. (On my Ubuntu 12.04 i think the script was stashed in ~/home/.conky directory ?)

Do i have to use also the first script (i use only conkyrc, not conkyrc_normal, conkyrc_bigflukso, and not conky_ups) ?
No. I had several conky scripts/windows running at once, all monitoring slightly different things. If you only have one conky instance you call it via conky.

Did you manage to get conky running before editing the conkyrc file?

FYI everyone this thread kicked off from here.

Jason, the link don't work...
Here is the link:

Yes, i made conky running (like i did previously on another distro) and by fine tuning some things like hhd temp and wlan0 to wlan2 it runs fine. Except for the flukso part...
I saw in your script that there was the home directory a file named "scripts", and in there another file named conky. In there i put the".conkyrc" .
In the scripts directory there is also the "flukso-usage.sh" script that i made executable, and another script "scripts.sh".
When i put in the therminal:
~/scripts/flukso-usage.sh
the output is:
/home/luc/scripts/flukso-usage.sh: regel 52: onverwacht bestandseinde tijdens zoeken naar bijpassende '"'
/home/luc/scripts/flukso-usage.sh: regel 56: syntaxfout: onverwacht bestandseinde

Before there was a fault at line 34 ( #" title="http://pluis.com.au/pub/flukso-usage/").
But i delete al the URL's in that script that begins with http://pluis.com.au... because i think was not necessary i my case.

Now I’m a but stuck...

I saw that I made a little typo in the opening post...I run Ubuntu 14.04 ;-)

Oh yes, i made also a hidden file .config/flukso and in there the "decawatts-now.txt", because i saw this in the .conkyrc script from you.
Was this step necessary ?
