Usar varios conky's al mismo tiempo

Conky es una interesante herramienta que nos sirve para monitorizar nuestro sistema ( entr otras cosas ) que por lo menos a mi me encanta usar, es sencilla, consume pocos recursos y te puedes ahorrar instalar Screenlets, Gdesklets y programas parecidos.

Conky nos brinda la posibildad de que lo ejecutamos de forma sencilla:

o de forma múltiple:

Para ello tenemos que crear varios archivos: En mi caso hice 3, uno para el correo entrante en la parte superior derecha llamado .conkyrc_mail, otro para el sistema en la parte inferior izquierda, llamado .conkyrc_sistema, y el último en la parte inferior derecha para la hora llamado .conkyrc_time. El contenido de los mismos los pongo al final.

Una vez que los tuve configurado a mi gusto, los coloqué dentro de una carpeta dentro de mi home llamada .conky.

$ mkdir ~/.conky

Luego abrimos un terminal como y como root creamos un archivo en /usr/local/bin con el nombre start_conky:

$ sudo touch /usr/local/bin/start_conky

y le puse adentro lo siguiente:

#!/bin/bash
conky -c ~/.conky/.conkyrc_sistema &
conky -c ~/.conky/.conkyrc_hora &
conky -c ~/.conky/.conkyrc_mail &

Ya lo que nos queda es darle permisos, como mismo hicimos en este artículo con wbar para que se iniciara.
