Programming • [Solved] Showing CPU fan speed in conky

Conky can print the output of a command with execi, piped through awk to search for specific lines and print only specific strings from the selected line.

Compare for example output of

Code:

$ xset -q

and

Code:

$ xset -q | awk '/Caps/{print $2 $3 $4, $6 $7 $8}'

I can add that to Conky thus:

Code:

${execi 1800 xset -q | awk '/Caps/{print $2 $3 $4, $6 $7 $8}'}

You can also select by line and element with awk:
