Re: Conky display disappearing

I am running conky which is displaying everything that its supposed to, but is disappearing at varying times. I've restarted it from the command line and it still happens, and I've restarted it from a new entry, but it still disappears. Why? What can I do to get a comprehensive conky displaying all the time please?

Here is my conky config -

Thanks

Its just dissapeared again, but this time I've checked in atop, and something has killed 'conky' but what? Any ideas folks please?
