I´ve got a question regarding a specific part of a conky-config.



I understand that by setting the update_interval parameter to 1.0 the whole conky application updates
every second.



What I want to achieve is excluding a particular part of what conky monitors and assigning another update interval to it.
In other words: overriding the settings of update_interval but only for a particular part of conky.



E.g.:



I have a line that looks like this (monitoring my USB-stick 1):



$color SlateBlue1stick1:$fs_used /media/rosika/28BC-DAFC/$fs_size /media/rosika/28BC-DAFC used:$fs_used_perc /media/rosika/28BC-DAFC% $fs_bar /media/rosika/28BC-DAFC


But as there´s no point in updating the values of that stick every second I´d like it to set to e.g. 2 hours.
Is that that possible at all?



P.S.:



System: Linux/Lubuntu 16.04.5 LTS, 64 bit

          For fs_bar it is possible to use execibar, something like this:



          $execibar 7200 fs_bar /media/rosika/28BC-DAFC


          7200: 2 Hours in second.




          However for fs_used_perc and fs_size we have to use execi to run system commands to get our desired data.



          For fs_size:



          $execi 7200 df -h --output=size /media/rosika/28BC-DAFC 


          For fs_used:



          $execi 7200 df -h --output=used /media/rosika/28BC-DAFC

          • Hi. Tnx a lot. Yet I have to say at least $execibar 5 fs_bar /home doesn´t work with me. Terminal says: sh: 1: fs_bar: not found and conky: reading exec value failed (perhaps it's not the correct format?). Perhaps we need a shell-command there, too? The other one I still have to try.

          • @Rosika Your conky might not support execibar I'm on 18.04 so I can't test. run this command: man conky 2>/dev/null | grep execibar | wc -l if you get number 0 then your conky does not support execibar.
