I am little confused about an instruction I came across. It stated "put the file in your path". I interpreted that as to add
PATH=$PATH:'~/.conkystart'
to my ~/.bashrc
. The file is ~/.conkystart
#!/bin/bash
conky -c ~/.conkyrc2
and ~/.conkyrc2
is a second conky fig file.
However, when I restarted, the second conkyrc file didn't execute and there were no errors in the bash terminal. Am I interpreting "put the file in your path" incorrectly? If so, what should I have done instead?
The end game is for ~/.conkyrc2
to execute on boot.
PATH
is a list of directories. You should copy/move/link it to a directory that is present in PATH, or add the directory containing it to PATH. That said, I don't see why adding it to PATH should cause it execute automatically. What is it you're trying to do and what instructions are you following?~/.conkyrc2
to execute on boot.
