Conky inside GNU/Screen session

hi! i was looking around but found nothing similar to what i want...

i was searching for a possibility of use conky INSIDE a terminal instead of the root window (aka "desktop") because i barely see my wallpaper, it's always covered with urxvtc sessions in dwm, so i have a detailed bottom bar inside dwm bottom bar, but i like to trim it to say audio volume + clock and have a conky or another similar program inside a gnu/screen "tab" showing my system activity, i surely want disk I/O usage and free/used space for example

the thing with conky-cli is that it behaves like this: (not cleaning the screen with every refresh)

[aleyscha@aleyscha 39 ~]$ conky
5d 12h/12C | 12%/36.0C/2/140 | 552/415 | /sdb1:12G /sdd1:60G /cdrom:n/a | 90% | 0k/0k | 0/0 | 20:22 07/10/2008

Re: Conky inside GNU/Screen session

How about making a screen region / horizontal split. Make it 1 line. And run conky-cli in there.

Re: Conky inside GNU/Screen session

but i already have a 1 line status bar with scripts, the thing i want is a full terminal size info app to show info about disk IO and space used/free, like htop, but instead of process info i want more disk space info

Re: Conky inside GNU/Screen session

maybe what dmz and i want is some way to clear the screen between conky refreshs, but i don't know how, if i make a script like this

conky
clr

it only clears the screen one time
