[PLUG] Multiple hard drive temps in conky via hddtemp

[Adam Zion via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

OK, my Frankenputer gets more Frankeny (Frankeny?) by the day. As I type this, I have thee hard drives running in it, a 1TB HDD for data, a 128 GB one for Windows, and 100 GB one for linux. I have a Conky config that used to give me the different temps for each drive- at least, when they were multiple partitions, not 3 different drives.

I set up 3 instances of hddtemp running as a service, each drive on its own port- 7634 (the default) for the HDD, + 7335-6 for the two SSDs. But I can't find a way to get Conky to read all three drives' temps. hddtemp pulls the first one correctly, but I can't get it to look at the 3 ports separately; adding the port to the hddtemp command (a built-in Conky object) just returns another N/A.

Any thoughts?
