Conky if-then decision structure (SOLVED)

hunterthomson · 2008-08-04 08:14:29

I am trying to set up a few if-then decision structure in my .conkyrc file but I can seem to get the syntax right. Do you know what it is or what I am doing wrong. (I have tryed like every varyable I can think of....

$if_mounted_/media/disk
/media/disk $alignc ${fs_used /media/disk} / ${fs_size /media/disk} $alignr ${fs_free_perc /media/disk}%
${fs_bar /media/disk}
$endif_mounted_/media/disk

Thank You

Now when I mount a USB or SD card Conky will show all the stats for it and if it is unmounted the graf and stuff will go away

You know there is no such thing as an "if loop" right?

What is it cald then? Just a loop?

kclive18 · 2008-08-05 00:54:14

It's an if-then decision structure, NOT a loop, as it only performs a task once and only once. for and while structures are loops that iterate tasks over and over.

Conky is pretty neat, I may try it sometime since my XFCE desktop is pretty clean:

Well that makes sents...
here is a pic of my OpenBox desktop.... Vary clean

I hope you can stop those "Crackers" form cracking your Gibson and Stealing a copy your Da Vinci Virus Code
Looks like it will be hard though. Codeing in 3D wow now that is a skill

Halo, this is my netbook desktop i've configured correctly my conky in order to have wlan0, ppp0, or eth0 informations of connection but conky, when i don't use wifi connection, displays a strange [] near the totaldown, you can see better in the screenshot:

and this is my conkyrc:

#avoid flicker
double_buffer yes

#own window to run simultanious 2 or more conkys
own_window  yes
own_window_transparent no
own_window_type normal
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager 

#borders

border_margin 3

#shades
draw_shades no

#behaviour

#colour
default_color  8f8f8f
#default_shade_color 000000
own_window_colour 262729

#font

# Force UTF8? note that UTF8 support required XFT
override_utf8_locale yes

#to prevent window from moving

can anyone tell me why it displays this strange symbol? Thanks

toketin · 2009-10-30 11:41:00

i've also added three $endif at the end of text but nothing, now with three endif it displays always the [] while with the configuration above (only one $endif) if i'm connected through wifi it doens't display the symbol in the other case yes!

hunterthomson · 2009-12-11 02:28:50

Well you asked this a long time ago. But I am board.

I don't have conky installed so I can't test this. I am using KDEmod now so I have to use SuperKambra.

---------

I think you needed to add an ${endif} after the first ${else}

note: you can use the backslash to escape the new like caritor

So it would go like this:

If 1=x ;
    print x
    
    else
        if 1=y ;
            print y
        endif
    
    else
        if 1=z ;
            print z
        endif

endif
