how to write a lua script using hddtemp so that results are displayed in a bargraph

  • 772

in my lua bargraph script I have

name="hddtemp",
arg="execi 100 hddtemp /dev/sda2 |cut -c33-40",

I just want the temperature to be displayed in a bar graph. What I have written above displays an empty bargraph. it also displays this message in the terminal.

conky: reading exec value failed (perhaps it's not the correct format?)
conky: could not connect to hddtemp host

Could someone please assist me and point me in the right direction so that I can write the correct script name and argument so as to display the hddtemp in a lua bargraph. Thank you.

  1. name="execi 10", arg="hddtemp /dev/sda2 -n", max=100, alarm=80,

    Writing this will allow one to read hddtemp in a bargraph. just rewrite sda2 so that it matches your drive number.
