Two instances of Conky at startup

Post by idle »

I am using Mint 17.3 (new install) and have found in System Monitor there are two instances of Conky running at startup :?

Here's where things get strange ...

I found Conky is listed in Startup Applications (0 Delay) with an off/on switch. If I flick the switch to off (thinking that will get rid of one of the instances) Conky doesn't start at all.

I don't know why its doing this, and would greatly appreciate some help sorting it out.

Thanks :D

By "switch" do you mean "checkbox" within the list of startup applications? Click edit, paste the command here, and if it's something like a .sh file, also paste its contents here.

perhaps your conky is running two .rc files

In the system monitor right click on each instance of conky and choose
Properties--then scroll down to read the Command line to find out what process it is calling.
