Conky

Posted October 2nd, 2007 by marslert

It have been a month I didn’t post. I wish to share a light weight system monitoring tools which deploy at Ubuntu. Note : It does not use to remotely monitor. It just a tools that let you enter some build in variable to monitor your system. Such as hdd space, system loading, monitor logs, and etc. Browse to Conky main page for more information need.

Simple installation step by fire to your terminal with following command,

$ sudo apt-get install conky

Import the conky setting file that came along with the installation,

$ zcat /usr/share/doc/conky/examples/conkyrc.sample.gz > ~/.conkyrc

Try to edit below variable from conky setting file in order to let it run as transparent.

own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
double_buffer yes
own_window yes
