Small issue with Conky Widget for SystemMon #1

On line 62 you have a look up for the firewall status using a sudo command. Since conky constantly refreshes and a password is usually required with sudo, this is causing multiple failed attempts. There are ways to remove the password requirement for sudo. But if your setup requires a password this process will eventually lock sudo. To resolve this, I've just commented out this line. Otherwise this is a great widget! Thanks.

Thank you for your feedback.I've not had this issue on my system for some reason. Ill definitely try to get around to find an alternative method.On my machines i always back up my /etc/sudoer file the edit the original by going down to user section and sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALLthis prevents having to constantly put in password each time sudo is used. I do run debian and ubuntu systems. Im not sure if same applies to other distros.--Sent from my Android phone with mail.com Mail.
