For a long time I have not posted any script. So, its not that I have not written anything new, but just that did not put them here in lack of time. So, here is one interesting one. The original idea came from one posted in one of the interesting blog here. But the problem with this one was that for every time, it ran in the cron, it would make multiple entries in the “last” output (about 10 or more with my modifications for differentiating between solaris and Linux). This is something which is not quite desirable. Hence I came up with this script which is based on html template and hence the output is also easier to manipulate. BTW, just the below script will not help, you would need to download the template files as well. In the list.txt file, you will have to put the usename, password and the server IP to monitor. The server could be any Linux or Solaris host.

There are some 1048 pages in the thread, I am showing pages 1 to 3 but you can change 3 to whatever number you want 🙂
count=0
for i in {1..3}
do
>.test
>conkyrc
echo "Getting page $i"
curl http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865\&page=$i |\\
sed -n '// d'|\
sed 's##\n-----------------------------------\n\n\n#' \
>conkyrc
dos2unix conkyrc
cp conkyrc .test
while [ $(wc -l .test|sed 's/[^0-9]//g') != 0 ]
do
sed -n '1,/------------------------/ p' .test|sed '$d' >conkyrc.$count
diff .test conkyrc.$count |sed 's/^<.//'|sed '1, /---------------------/ d;2d'>.test
((count++))
done
echo "Files so far are : $count"
done
If you are looking for some nice conkyrc files, then you can head over to :
In this thread you can see some very nice conkyrc files with screenshots. You can browse through the thread and get the one that you like. But if you are like me and would like to download all of them to see the features and commands in each of them then you would need to copy each of these files and paste them separately. But if you have to do everything manually then there’s not much of being on Linux 🙂
