I made this bash script for Conky that gets the window title of Iceweasel and prints it. It looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z "$(pgrep firefox-bin)" ]; then
echo ""
else
id=$(xlsclients -al|grep "Command: firefox-bin" -A1 -B4|head -n1|cut -d ' ' -f 2|tr -d ':')
pid=$(xprop -id "$id"|awk '/_NET_WM_PID/ {print $3}')
title=$(wmctrl -lp|grep "$pid"|awk -F 'steamroller' '{print $2}')
title=${title%%' - Iceweasel'}
echo " ~ ${title:1:90}"
fiAny suggestions for how I could do it better?

try this instead
${lua draw_boxes}i dont think it needs the brackets

Done ... it doesn't ... doesn't need the () that is ... it works. 
Thanks, now to play with something else.

Not me, maybe I can coax mobilediesel over for a look at it.

Since you are already using wmctrl and awk it can be way simplified:
if pid=$(pgrep firefox-bin); then
title=$(wmctrl -lp | awk -F "$(uname -n) " '/'$pid'/ {sub(/ - Iceweasel/,"");print $2}')
echo " ~ ${title:0:90}"
else
echo ""
fiThe "$(uname -n) " instead of 'steamroller' is just so this could be easily used on other machines without having to edit the script.

YAHOO! I'm getting closer. Thanks Sector11! What I had to do is use your code to make another conky and added it to my startup. So now all I have to do is make my adjustments. When I tried what you said the radar and my main conky was together in the center. Thanks mrpeachy for the radar code. Nighty night

Yes, a new separate conky is what I said: called conky-radar
Play with the gap_x (left,right) gap_y (up,down) values to get the top left corner of the map where you want it.
Then play with the size, set the minimum sizes first, then set the max width to match and uncomment it:
minimum_size 400 200 # width, height
# maximum_width 400Last edited by Sector11 (2011-06-22 16:02:37)

@ mrpeachy
I need more help, I've struggled with this....
Today I fired it up via the terminal and I'm getting an error:
13:00:54 ~
$ conky -c ~/Conky/OB_TimeBar
Conky: desktop window (1ad) is root window
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x1800001)

Conky: llua_getstring: function conky_draw_boxes didn't return a string, result discarded
Conky: llua_getstring: function conky_draw_boxes didn't return a string, result discarded
Conky: received SIGINT or SIGTERM to terminate. bye!
13:01:05 ~
$ Conky parts that apply:
lua_load ~/Conky/LUA/time_bar.lua
# lua_draw_hook_post draw_boxes
# lua_draw_hook_pre draw_boxes
# TEXT
# ${lua draw_boxes()}HH:blah-blah
TEXT
${lua draw_boxes}HH: ${time %H}OH and it does work with brackets () - just needs a space:
TEXT
${lua draw_boxes ()}HH: ${time %H}Neither way helps
And using:
lua_load ~/Conky/LUA/time_bar.lua
# lua_draw_hook_post draw_boxes
lua_draw_hook_pre draw_boxes
# TEXT
# ${lua draw_boxes()}HH:blah-blah
TEXT
HH: ${time %H}gives the same error seen above.
Same LUA as yesterday:

So i must make i script like the ssc.sh, i dont have that one yet.
If you have more than one conky a script is the best.
If you only have one conky then add this to the start:sleep 30 &&if you use ~/.conkyrc it would be simple:
sleep 30 && conky
I'm not finding the place to ad this ~/.conkyrc, sleep 30 && conky
Is it in the conky or in startup aplications?.
Sorry for my lot of questions.

Do not worry about the questions, keep asking. I'll keep answering.
Start up applications - start your conky like this:
sleep 30 && conky -c ~/conky/kruijfNow if you want 2 conkys use the "ssc.sh" I showed you and make it like this:
#!/bin/sh
# click to start, click to stop
if pidof conky | grep [0-9] > /dev/null
then
exec killall conky
else
sleep 30 &&
conky -c ~/conky/kruijf &&
conky -c ~/conky/kruijf2 &&
exit
fiMake ssc.sh executable and in your start up applications - start your conky like this:
ssc.shThat's it.

Since you are already using wmctrl and awk it can be way simplified:
if pid=$(pgrep firefox-bin); then title=$(wmctrl -lp | awk -F "$(uname -n) " '/'$pid'/ {sub(/ - Iceweasel/,"");print $2}') echo " ~ ${title:0:90}" else echo "" fiThe "$(uname -n) " instead of 'steamroller' is just so this could be easily used on other machines without having to edit the script.
Thanks a lot, mobilediesel! Do you have any idea how I can fetch the currently active window title? 
I noticed a problem with using the PID. When I have two instances of IW running, both titles are printed. The same goes for the "Downloads" window, etc. I therefore changed my previous script to look like this:
if [ -z "$(pgrep firefox-bin)" ]; then
echo ""
else
id=$(xlsclients -al|grep "Command: firefox-bin" -A1 -B4|head -n1|cut -d ' ' -f 2|tr -d ':')
id=${id:2:5}
title=$(wmctrl -l|grep "$id"|awk -F 'steamroller' '{print $2}')
title=${title%%' - Iceweasel'}
echo "${title:1:100}"
fiIt only gets the first instance of IW, which seems to be the window that was opened first. This is better for me since I want the title to be printed on a single line.

More questions! Is it possible to get Conky to display a fixed height? I want my Conky bar to be exactly 15px high (at least only show the 15px of Conky that is important). I want to put it at the top of the desktop, but there is a gap that can't remove.

Thanks a lot, mobilediesel! Do you have any idea how I can fetch the currently active window title?
Fetch! bash, fetch!
Oh wait, that only works with "Rover"! 
OH MD!!!!!

fiThe -o after pgrep makes it only show the oldest PID that matches. -n would show the newest.

Thanks a bunch! You are a wizard in my eyes. I only made some minor changes to the active window title script because it wouldn't catch some titles, like Thunar's. Is it because it's runs as a daemon that it's given different looking id's?
Name=$(uname -n)
Window=$(xprop _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW -root)
Window=${Window/0x}
Window=${Window##* }
if [ "$Window" != "0" ]; then
Current_Active_Title=$(wmctrl -l | awk -F "$Name " '/'${Window}'/ {print $2}')
echo "$Current_Active_Title"
else
echo ""
fiThe Window stuff in the beginning could probably be done in a simpler fashion, but my bash knowledge is limited to this. Seems to work without problem now, though!

Thnaks Sector11 i whil keep asking, becaus i want to learn more about this.
I tried sleep 30 && conky -c ~/conky/kruijf in my startup applications in the section command, but it wont work.
I also tried sleep 30 && conky -c ~/conky/bas my account on my systeem is bas, and is not working to.
What the problem is i dont know i tried serveral commands, nothing works for me.

OK, lets try this: Where are the conky files (if more than one) you want to start?
Mine are here:
~/Conky/OB_Time_Up
~/Conky/OB_Top3
~/Conky/OB_366
~/Conky/OB_Email
~/Conky/OB_Email2
~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-R
~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-Lseven different conkys.
So I can start them in a terminal like this:
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Time_Upconky -c ~/Conky/OB_Top3conky -c ~/Conky/OB_366conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Emailconky -c ~/Conky/OB_Email2conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-Rconky -c ~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-Lor as one command:
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Time_Up & conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Top3 & conky -c ~/Conky/OB_366 & conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Email & conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Email2 & conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-R & conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-Land a bash script file would look like this (make it executable):
#!/bin/sh
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Time_Up &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Top3 &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_366 &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Email &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Email2 &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-R &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-L &
exitTo add a delay:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 30 &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Time_Up &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Top3 &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_366 &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Email &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Email2 &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-R &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-L &
exitSo show me
1. where your conky file is - or are if more than one
2. your autostart file
3. how you start your conky now.
The bash script I use today is this:
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$(pidof conky)" ]; then
killall conky
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Top3 &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Email &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Email2 &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Time_Up &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_366 &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-R &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-L &
exit
else
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Top3 &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Email &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Email2 &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Time_Up &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_366 &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-R &
conky -c ~/Conky/OB_Remind-Cal-L &
exit

Easy way - where it says
Command: conky
change it to:
Command: conky -p 30
"Log out" and come back. Conky should be delayed 30 seconds allowing GNOME to start and setup before conky starts.
conky by itself will always start the default conky found at:
/etc/conky/conky.confHowever, if you have the file:
~/.conkyrcit will start that.
