I use the awesome todo.txt cli tool for my todo list. I want to find a way to display this on my desktop, and have it update every time I update the file. Is there an easy way to do this? Does conky do stuff like this?

Im trying to figure out how to display parts of a .db file created by the scorch2000 server to display a player name, games played, score and maybe more...
here is the text file format example:
playername1 password email #ofgames score setting1 setting2 setting3
playername2 password email #ofgames score setting1 setting2 setting3
playername3 password email #ofgames score setting1 setting2 setting3
playername4 password email #ofgames score setting1 setting2 setting3
playername5 password email #ofgames score setting1 setting2 setting3
I dont want to display everything, of course ^^, but how do i get the player name, the number of games he played and his score to display it in a webpage in this fasion:
Name Games Played Score
joe blow1 25 9876890
joe blow2 31 8989767
joe blow2 26 7989767
joe blow2 17 5989767
joe blow2 13 4989767
and by highest score because the log doesin't put them in in score order....
please help, i asked the maker because he has one runing already but no answer back, well the game is pretty old so i didn't really expect an answer anyways and tryed to figure it out but i dont know functions in php, this is to include in a php-nuke block (this i know how to do

i need a php script to format and display a select amount of text from a file or a cron job that'll do it (with grep etc) and out put to a file but whatever is easier i want to display all the banned ip's i have in my .htaccess file i have a lot of lines in my .htaccess file but i have a line that read like this:
Code:
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} (123.123.123.123|123.123.123.123|123.123.123.123)$
the 3 test ip's are 123.123.123.123 and i want the "" stripping and the "|" removing and each ip to be on it's own line like this:
123.123.123.123
123.123.123.123
123.123.123.123
i'm not bothered if this is a php script that'll read the .htaccess file and display the output or a cron job that'll run every x mins and output it to a .txt file but i'd prefer a php script

I have my conky set up so it displays fortune, then I run a script to add enough spaces so that even if fortune is any amount of lines long, it will take up exactly 17 lines, and after that, it displays the time. The problem I have is that a lot of the time, the fortune will display fine, but the time will only display what default_shade_color is (black).
Code:
# UBUNTU-CONKY
# A comprehensive conky script, configured for use on
# Ubuntu / Debian Gnome, without the need for any external scripts.
[code]....
is there a built-in linux script that does what mine does? and why is conky only drawing the fortune in the right colors? PS the reason I want it all on one conky, is I'm running openbox and the right-click menu only works for stuff drawn to the root screen.
edit: When I don't use the script the colors work just fine, but the spacing's off, obviously. sceenshot-1 shows it.

My conky file declares a color association with this
color5 green
and then after TEXT has this line
Code:
ISC: ${execi 60 /home/ben/scripts/isc.sh}
the isc.sh file has this
Code:
#!/bin/bash
curl http://isc.sans.org/infocon.txt | sed 'y/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/' > /tmp/isc
[Code].....
Why is it not displaying GREEN in the green colour? If I manually type ${color5}GREEN into .conkyrc its fine.

So I'm running Fluxbox as my window manager in Xubuntu. I use ivman to automatically mount any usb devices.Now I was wondering if it's possible to have conky display all mounted drives and some information about them.I saw you can do {$ifmounted /media/blah} but this would assume I have a set number of devices preconfigured in fstab. It doesn't account for some random guy's flash drive, or a buddy's smartphone.
I know mount | grep sd outputs a list of mounted drives. So then could I somehow format that output and pass it to conky? Or do you guys have any more clever ideas on how I could accomplish this?

It seems that Conky is broken, if I try to do anything with it(even after complete removal and reinstallation) I get this output.
Code:
Conky: missing text block in configuration; exiting
***** Imlib2 Developer Warning ***** :
This program is calling the Imlib call:
imlib_context_free();
With the parameter:
context
Being NULL. Please fix your program.
I don't know what to do?

I think someone has been in my apartment when I'm at work and attempted to login to my computer.
Rather than searching through all the logs, is there any way for Conky to display the last 2 or 3 login attempts?

Recently I succesfully installed conky. I managed to get a lot of things work with more or less effort but I can't make conky to display any image.Images path and permissions had been checked. Imlib2 support too but conky won't display a thing.

I am putting together a Conky config file by a sort of 'smash and grab' approach borrowing things from various configs I've seen around the web that do stuff I like. I have reached a stumbling block as I want to display my external IP, I have used
Code:
${addrs eth0}
to display the IP on my LAN and guessed I would just need to substitute 'eth0' with something else to get the external IP?? I have tried the mac address of my primary router to no avail, this just displays '0.0.0.0' My current config looks like:-
Code:
# set to yes if you want Conky to be forked in the background
background yes
#font
use_xft yes
[code]....

I run my conky as one bar at the top of the screen (Ratpoison). It is frustrating when % values jump between 0->10% for example and then the entire bar shifts. How can I make it display 000% 010% 100%?

im trying to output a list of running processes via a shell script. At the moment i got this which outputs the processes to a text file called out.
echo $(ps aux) >>out
The problem is though, the processes are all just one big block of text which makes it hard to read. Does anyone know how to sort the output to a text file so that it prints to the text file at 1 process per line? I know its probably simple but im very new to linux.

I'd like to tweak my Conky so it automatically displays the days of the week correctly. So for example, if TODAY were Tuesday, it would look like this:
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
[etc.]
And then tomorrow, *automatically*, it would look like this:
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
[etc.]
I know I can get it to display *today's* date like this:
${time %A}
But how do I get it to display tomorrow's date?

I have an K10 AMD CPU and unfortunately it has a borked temp sensor. I have figured out that if I subtract 8 from value stored in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature that the result is very close to being spot on. The problem is I have no idea to do this and conky has no built in way to do this.
The data stored in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/temperature looks like this:
Code:
temperature: 52 C
Is there some sort of script that can do this?

I put a text file on my desktop and added a couple lines of text with gedit. File type shows text/plain. Double-click opens the file in gedit which is what I want. I'm using the file to temporarily hold some snips of code that I copy from file to file, but when I copy some html into the file and save it, now file properties show it's text/html and a double-click opens the file in firefox, which isn't what I want. Is there some way to keep the file type from changing itself?

How could I replace text in one file with text from another file using sed?
The text in each of the files would be surrounded by a starting and ending delimiter or a starting tag, say like /* */ so to easily find them.

Can I use sed to include a text file in the beginning of other text files inside a folder and its subfolders? So it should be recursive.
