I do it this way:

  { MODKEY, XK_p, spawn, { .cmd = "exec dwm-update-proglist.sh
  --launch" } }, \

Where my dwm-update-proglist.sh is as attached. It runs a program with
the --launch option and only updates the program list when run without
options.

If there's no program list file it will generate one.

I usually run this program asynchronously once when logging into an X
session (and later manually if necessary).

Cheers,
