Hey @Ed_P, @ncmprhnsbl, et al., I'm having an issue with this module building. I did it for conky, and it "worked" until I shut down and then rebooted and no conky.

I did the "sudo slapt-mod -m conky" and it downloaded and built /tmp/conky....tzm. I then did the "sudo activate /tmp/conky....tzm" command and started conky up. Wooo!

But it doesn't survive shutdown/reboot, even though the config files for conky do. What else do I need to do?

Thanks for a bona fide Openbox setup in Porteus!

NEVERMIND! @beny and @Ed_P answered this in another post.
