Conky + BPQ
|
I'm trying to find out where conky looks for an apps current status. I want BPQ to show up in conky and display current status just like direwolf and all the other apps. I have already added a line to the conky-large file and it shows BPQ OFF in red just like it would if it weren't running but it is. This is the line:
${alignr}${if_running linbpq}${color green}BPQ ACTIVE${else}${color red}BPQ OFF$endif? I've also tried if_running bpq and had the same effect Thanks, K4SPB |

I¡¯m not sure whereis will help, but if you are sure BPQ (an app I¡¯m not familiar with) is running you can run:
ps | grep BPQ? (check case, may need bpq) and confirm the exact full process name. Use that exact name in the conky if_running command. If the ps command doesn¡¯t find any such process running then conky¡¯s if_running won¡¯t either.? -- --- Steve Johnson K0OIL |

Remember, if you are unsure of the case, ignore it with -i

take from that what you willMichael, your suggestion was the only one to provide a result. Steve, your suggestion to add the full string was insightful but unfortunately didn't work.? Still looking for an answer to the original question:??where does conky look for an apps current status? |
