[Solved] Conky started from OB menu entry

I want to create a conky that can be started from the obmenu but im not sure how to go about this, i want to create a decorated vnstat conky and have it start from obmenu, could this be done?

My search skills and scripting skills are not good enough to find this out for myself. I apologise if this topic may have been covered before somewhere.

Im pretty sure i would need to create a bash script of some sort and invoke it as a menu option similar to BL conky chooser.

Cheers
Steve

Doh, nevermind i figured it out.

Simple as this.

#!/bin/bash

conky -c /home/sc/conkyrc.myconky

Then make it executable and add it to the menu as an executable.

Havent created the vnstat conky yet but will post it up when i do.

You can add the command directly to menu.rc, with no need for an intermediate script.

<item label="Conky">
	<action name="Execute">
		<command>conky -c /path/to/conkyrc</command>
	</action>
</item>

^^ I knew it had to be even simpler, i have a habit of over complicating at times. Cheers
