Conky

Let's see another topic!

C O N K Y

It is a tool used for system monitoring in a graphical way.
Install Conky by

• sudo apt-get install conky

Then we must edit config file of conky. Default file config works, but is poor. On internet I saw a code of file config coolest. Move on

• cd /etc/conky

• gedit conky.conf

Now, you can run conky in two ways:

• conky (so, it sees as default config file conky.conf)
• conky -c filename.conf (so you must specify config file)

The result will be...

Uhm... find out you!
