[gentoo-user] Fluxbox/Conky acting up

[Vlad Dogaru]

Hello everyone,

I had  Conky start automatically when I log in to Fluxbox by adding the
following line to .fluxbox/startup:

exec /usr/bin/conky &

It is before exec /usr/bin/fluxbox (a howto warned me about this pitfall)
and everything works as expected. The only problem is that when I exit my
Fluxbox session, Conky doesn't stop, but rather starts eating up my CPU
(could this be because when I log back in I start another instance of it?).
It can't be killed with a KILL signal, but I noticed HUP will do the trick.
Is this normal? How can I have Conky stopped at logout?

Thanks,
Vlad
