Open a terminal and type:
Code:

ps aux

Now find the name of Conky. It would look something like this:
Code:

pieman   11722  0.0  0.1   5312  2588 ?        S    Nov01   0:01 conky

Now find the pid number, it will be after the username of the user who has Conky on. Example:
Code:

pieman   11722

Then type this:
Code:

kill -9 pid number

What is the point of posting increasingly complex methods?

"pkill -9 -f conky" is guaranteed to work.
