For autostart, you can add it to Personal Settings>System Administration>Autostart. I used to do that but now find that once started manually, it will always autostart provided the last session was closed properly.
Don’t know about KDE and openSUSE versions, but you can display the kernel version (as you probably already know).
@ gminnerup,
but its a config file, not a script to add to Autostart. i tried adding it anyway, but nothing happened. had to manually start it. thanks for the reply
you were right. There was no need to add the config file to ‘auto start’. I renamed the config file in the home directory to “.conkyrc” and added “usr/bin/conky” to ‘autostart’. Now its working fine. Thanks a lot….
