Hello porter2000.
I believe the bash script command at the top is the issue.
Copy this code below and name it  .conkyrc
Then place this file in your /home directory.

    ${top name 7} $alignr ${top pid 7} ${top cpu 7}
    ${top name 8} $alignr ${top pid 8} ${top cpu 8}

Open a terminal and type conky to get it running.

If you need help with auto-starting I will be happy to help.
