Right.

That did it.

TEMPERATURES
-------------------------------------
${hr 2}
Core0: +${hwmon 0 temp 2}°C                 Core1: +${hwmon 0 temp 3}°C  
Core2: +${hwmon 0 temp 4}°C                 Core3: +${hwmon 0 temp 5}°C

... got me exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you very much for your input.

Cheers,

Right ...

Thanks a lot ..  =-)

I had to tailor it a bit ...

${execpi 5 sensors | awk 'NR==3{print $1 $2 $3} NR==4{print $1 $2 $3} NR==5 {print $1 $2 $3} NR==6 {print $1 $2 $3}' | fmt -24}

... gets me this:

But I have not found a way to separate the readouts.

eg:

It seems that spaces do not count and I don't see a tab or any other argument to use.

How do I separate them?

Thanks in advance,

A.

This is how i do commands for conky sensors, you may need to play around with the fmt (format) values and the awk values.

sensors | awk 'NR==3{print $3} NR==4{print $3} NR==5{print $3} NR==6{print $3}' | fmt -20

You dont need cut or grep commands, awk can do all the hard work itself.

edit: and the way you want it formatted should be below command.

sensors | awk 'NR==3{print $1,$3} NR==4{print $1,$3} NR==5{print $1,$3} NR==6{print $1,$3}' | fmt -30

I use Conky on my desktop to show, among other things, CPU temperatures.
Invaluable when your box sits on the floor of a rather unkept home office.  =^7

The /etc/conky/conky.conf lines that do it are these ...

${execpi 5 sensors | grep Core | awk '{print $1 $2 $3}' | cut -c1-15}

... and what I get is something akin to this:a

The output shown above in ASCII (*) is more or less to scale and aligned to the right screen margin, in turn represented by the vertically stacked Alt+179 symbols.

In order to be able to add a couple of readings without having to squint (more) and/or take up additional screen surface, I'd like to be able to format the output in this manner:

How can I get that done?

Thanks in advance,

A.
