Indicator Sysmonitor

How to run multiple instances?

Asked by Adam K

This changelog https://launchpad.net/indicator-sysmonitor/+announcement/8877 hints at:

"custom configuration files (passed by --config), so that multiple instances may be run"

What should be included in the custom config file? I tried a few random "indicator-sysmonitor --config <filename>" which returned "json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
ERROR:root:Reading settings failed"

As the error message indicates, it has to be valid json format.

I suggest that you look at you default settings file which should be located at
~/.indicator-sysmonitor.json

I just copied it to a new file and loaded it as the second config
