Is it possible to change update interval in Conky for specific variables?

I was googling the same thing and this came up as a result so I wanted to set it straight.

It IS possible to do so, conky provides the following :

execi Same as exec but with specific interval. Interval can't be less than update_interval in configuration. See also $texeci

Usage: ${execi time-in-second bash-command-here}

Reference: http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html

As far as I know, conky has a single update_interval parameter which applies to all of the running .conkyrc file.

If you want some parameters to be monitored at different intervals, use a separate rc file and run 2 (or more) instances of conky.
