Conky

Vandaag kreeg ik een bijzonder bruikbare tip van Wiep, de webmaster van Bluelight-network. Hij had een recente kopie van mijn .conkyrc configuratie gekregen. Hij zag daarin mogelijkheden ter verbetering van de grafische cpu presentatie.

To the point: Bij mij stond deze code ingesteld:

CPU frequenty: ${freq}MHz – CPU activiteit:  ${cpu cpu0}%
$cpubar
${cpugraph 000000 ffffff}

en dat is nu veranderd in:

CPU frequenty: ${freq}MHz – CPU activiteit: ${cpu cpu0}%
${cpubar cpu0}
${cpugraph cpu0 000000 ffffff}

Die tweede versie moet je herhalen per core, dus b.v. ook voor cpu1 bij een dual core etc. etc..

Het resultaat zorgt ervoor dat de grafiek per processor core wordt opgebouwd. In ‘mijn’ versie liet de cpu wel de juiste activiteit zien, maar de grafieken waren identiek aan elkaar. En dat klopt dus niet.

Ter info: op Digiplace staan twee andere artikelen over het gebruik van Conky: Hier staan ze allemaal. En volledigheidshalve komt hieronder  de volledige configuratie die op Digiplace wordt gebruikt.
