i have made a script with perl to display information in conky so that every time there is something emerging, it is shown on the desktop.


here is the script if anyone is interested:
Code:
 ${exec ps -o "%t %C" -C emerge|grep :|perl -pe 's/\n/  /';ps -o "%t %C %a" -C emerge |grep emerge | perl -pe 's/.*(emerge)/emerging/'}


it displays how long it's emerging, cpu usage, and what it's emerging with --options
anyways, it's a nice script, but when there is a huge list of things to emerge, my whole conky gets pushed over to the left (it's aligned to the right), and it looks very horrible and messed up.

my plan is this: the picture would explain it well. i want to integrate the title of the window that is emerging something, into conky, so it would display the text "emerge: (1 of 1) blah blah blah"

plan png



help would be appreciated.
thank you in advance.

ihor.

He
maybe an idea would be to take the log file of emerge:
Code:
tail /var/log/emerge.log|grep emerge
