Tanya 74 : Conky, Monitoring Tools cantik di Desktop Ubuntu Anda

Tanya :
Mas Reza, Saya pernah dengar istilah conky. Apakah itu ?
Jawab :
Conky adalah salah satu perangkat monitoring di Linux.
Di Ubuntu Anda dapat menginstallnya dengan mudah :

sudo apt-get install conky

Untuk menjalankannya ketik di terminal anda

conky

Tampilan dasarnya tampak seperti gambar berikut :

Anda dapat mengedit file .conkyrc (buat jika belum ada) di direktori ~/ anda untuk mendapatkan tampilan conky yang lebih asyik.
Contoh file .conkyrc ada di bawah ini (boleh dicopy paste ke sistem anda). Diperoleh dari Vivek di situs linuxhub.
