[SOLVED] Yet another conky startup problem.

Tycon712 · 2011-04-12 16:52:45

Before you start getting mad at me, yes, I have looked through the forums and the conky website to try and fix this problem.
Every time I start up my computer, I cannot get conky to display on its own. I'm always forced to do it manually.
I've tried adding conky to my startup programs, to my rc.conf, and I've tried creating a delay script to force conky to start after the background is displayed and setting it to the startup programs.
I've posted below the beginning of my conky file and my conky delay script file.
What am I doing wrong?
Should I add the delay script to my startup programs or the daemons list in rc.conf?

Found out that I was running conky from my rc.conf and the delay script from my "Startup Applications" at the same time.
Fail.
