I'm trying to make Conky work with Lubuntu using xdotool.

xdotool search --class "Pcmanfm" behave %2 focus windowraise $(xdotool search --class "Conky")

I get an error:

xdotool: Unknown command: 44040194

The problem is that xdotool search --class "Conky" finds multiple windows, and results in multiple window IDs - the first makes sense at this place, but the second it is at a place where the first xdotool expects the next command.

You should change the search xdotool search --class "Conky" to match only one window.

If that is not possible, you could use $(xdotool search --class "Conky" | head -n 1) to choose just one of them, whithout knowing which,

or a solution like xdotool: Unknown command: 21043361
