Typo on the first line - causes an error in the constructed filepath
un_dir="/var/cache/update-notification/"
Should be
un_dir="/var/cache/update-notification"

Actually, bash works with /dir1/dir2/file same as /dir1/dir2//file
Bue it may not be a good practice... maybe in some versions of bash doesnt works?

Then, obviusly, isnt a good practice.
Iam using bash 4.3.30, and you?

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.3.30(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

The error was "No such file or directory", which didn't reoccur after I changed the line.

It must have been some other typo. Double slashes work fine here in file paths - just tested with bash 4.3.30 and sh. (They don't look nice though.)

same here (bash 4.3.42): i can change directories even with doubleslashes.
i haven't checked the conky script though; my guess is there's sth else amiss.

@pepemopap

Ref your tint2 config: bl-tint2restart shows an error

execp_interval must be an integer >= 1

The tint2rc has

execp_interval = 0

Ummm, i have the same error, but in documentation says:

execp_interval = integer : The command is executed again after execp_interval seconds from the moment it exits. If zero, the command is executed only once. (since 0.12.4)

Im using 0.12.7

well if the actually currently present version of tint2 throws that message, i'd say that takes precedence?
but o9000 is active on the forums, and if they didn't read it already, i'm sure you can drop a line on one of the tint2 threads here and ask for clarification.
