How to delay Conky appearing on the desktop? [SOLVED]

[Jasper]

Hi there

I am using a WiFi connection and Conky starts before my Internet connection details appear.

Is there a way to delay this?

Presently, I have to restart the Graphical server to refresh the details.

Even though the conky is displayed prior to the wifi connection being established, as conky is constantly refreshed, it should update and show the connection within a few seconds. If this bothers you, you can delay conky running by adding a sleep 5 line in the conky start script on the line prior to the conky -c /path/to/conkyrc command. This delays the conky command from being run. In the example shown it is 5 seconds. You can make it any length of time you want. Trial and error on how long you want to sleep prior to running the conky command included in the script. Look in /root/Startup for the conky script.
