I am little confused about an instruction I came across. It stated "put the file in your path". I interpreted that as to add

PATH=$PATH:'~/.conkystart'

to my ~/.bashrc. The file is ~/.conkystart 

#!/bin/bash
conky -c ~/.conkyrc2

and ~/.conkyrc2 is a second conky fig file.

However, when I restarted, the second conkyrc file didn't execute and there were no errors in the bash terminal. Am I interpreting "put the file in your path" incorrectly? If so, what should I have done instead?

The end game is for ~/.conkyrc2 to execute on boot.

To add a file to your PATH, first find out what PATH is with:

echo $PATH

Then, move the file to one of those directories.
