Conky does not start every time and how to deal with it

[Grey]

The other day I noticed that Conky sometimes starts up and sometimes doesn't. Looked at what was happening in Task Manager. It turned out that periodically wget prevents Conky from starting.
What to do if this happens? I opened the file /root/conkyrc in Geany and found this line:

Code: Select all

${color2}NET: EXT: ${alignr}  ${execi 3600 wget -O - -q icanhazip.com} ${if_up eth0}

Now change icanhazip.com to https://icanhazip.com
Everything is stable now.

I used to like conky until it started to become a kinda "distraction".
