conky: Pause for 5 seconds at startup before launching.
$ conky -p ${5}
try on your machine
The command "conky -p ${5}" runs the Conky application with certain options.
Conky is a lightweight system monitor that displays various information on your desktop, such as CPU usage, memory usage, network status, and more.
In this specific command:
- "conky" is the main command that starts the Conky application.
- "-p" is an option that specifies the configuration file to be used. In this case, "${5}" refers to the fifth command-line argument passed to the script or command. It means that the command is using the configuration file specified by the fifth argument.
The value of "${5}" could be a path to a specific Conky configuration file. By using different configuration files, you can customize the way Conky displays information on your desktop, or you can have different configurations for different purposes.
For example, if you have a configuration file called "my_conky_config" stored in the current directory, you could run the command as follows: "conky -p my_conky_config".
