conky: Start in the background (daemonize).
$ conky -d
try on your machine
The command "conky -d" is used to start Conky in the background as a daemon process.
Conky is a tool that displays system information such as CPU usage, memory usage, network statistics, and more, on the desktop as a widget. By default, Conky runs in the foreground, meaning its window is visible on the desktop. However, running Conky in the background ("-d" flag) allows it to function as a system process without displaying any graphical interface.
By starting Conky as a daemon, it continues to monitor and display system information in real-time, but without the need for user interaction or taking up space on the screen. This can be useful for users who want to keep track of system stats without having a visible window on the desktop.
