title: Piping file contents to conky?
body: <p>I have been writing a script to check the weather.  The script is fine and is working great as a cronjob but, I am now trying to have the results from the script(todays weather forecast) displayed in conky.</p>
  
  <p>I have a file 'weather-outside' that the python-weather script writes to then I add this to the conkyrc file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>${color grey}Weather:${scroll 16 $execi 3600 cat $/home/User/Desktop/misc./weather-outside | fold}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <strong>execi</strong> command is suppose to run at interval set to 3600secs but, this is the error message when running conky after:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Conky: execi needs arguments
  Conky: Error destroying thread
  ***** Imlib2 Developer Warning ***** :
      This program is calling the Imlib call:
  
      imlib_context_free();
  
      With the parameter:
  
      context
  
      being NULL. Please fix your program.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have changed <strong>execi</strong> to <strong>exec</strong> but, then the actually line 'cat $home/User/Desktop/misc./weather-outside | fold' scrolls across conky not the text from that file?</p>
