status

This is a status script for dwm

Modules

Each module of your statusbar is a scripts that is located under ~/.local/share/status/

Each script will be executed in alphanumeric order, so if you want to have a specific order in which your bar is displayed use numbers as prefix of your scripts like this:

~/.local/share/status:
    00_battery
    01_volume
    02_clock
    ...

Usage

To start the status daemon use the -d flag. If you want that the statusbar updates a unit, for example 01_volume when the volume buttons are pressed, just just execute status -u 01_volume to update the unit.

Config

In the config under ~/.config/status/config you can set the following variables:

CMDFIFO: Where to place the FIFO which is the communication layer between the daemon and the update requests. (default: ~/.cache/status)
BINDIR: Where your unit files are stored (default: ~/.local/share/status/)
AUTOREFRESH: After how many seconds the statusbar should autorefresh (default: 60)

The config is just sourced into the script so just use POSIX-Shell Syntax in it.

TODO

Only update single unit instead of whole status
