As I understand, conky_update
reloads the whole conky window every time. So, if I have rss fetching there and some scripts running they all rerun every few seconds. Is this right? Can I make the rss fetching part be very infrequent (say, every 10 hours), but other parts with few-seconds updating?
Relevant part from my .conkyrc:
update_interval 2.0
TEXT
${if_match ${desktop_number}==4}
${font GE Inspira:size=12}${color White}${alignc}Recent Blog Posts${color}${font}
${color White}${hr 1}${color}
${execp python ~/Documents/rss.py}
${color White}${hr 1}${color}
${endif}
rss.py merely scans an rss feed and gets blog post titles & dates from it.
