I am not very familiar with conky. I just installed and tried invoking with a normal user and it required root privileges.

My question is : If sudo is configured for you, why don't you want to use it?

If prefixing sudo is a problem for you, try creating an alias kind in your script and use that... Something like this...
Code:
CONKY="/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/conky"
...
...
$CONKY inputargs

My main problem now is that I still cant get the wlanscript.sh to work with my conky. I feel like I have all the paths right, but I cannot get the picture for the signal to show up at all...Here is the code:

Code:
override_utf8_locale yes
use_xft yes
xftfont verdana:size=8
alignment top_left
xftalpha 0.8
own_window class Conky
own_window yes
#own_window_type override
own_window_type conky
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
double_buffer yes
draw_shades no
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
stippled_borders 10
border_margin 4
border_width 1
default_shade_color grey
default_outline_color black
default_color BADCDD
use_spacer none
no_buffers yes
uppercase no
color1 4D6844
color0 E6E6E6
color1 A7CC5C
color2 E6E6E6

minimum_size 310 310
maximum_width 310
    
#alignment tl
