[dwm] Done Before: dwm stat scripts!

I spent a few hours cobbling this bad boy together (On a Flight and Elsewhere)
You'd need to tweak where it grabs battery life from or remove it
entirely, the part I really like is the connected network interfaces
script, which could be extended to display stuff like rx and tx bytes
(from wireless/) and other assorted statistics..

Anyone have any other things they put in here? Or perhaps better
script coding practices? (I'm just starting out)

.xinitrc:

#!/bin/sh
urxvtd -q -o -f &
[ -f ~/.Xresources ] && xrdb .Xresources
[ -f ~/.fehbg ] && `< .fehbg` &
[ -p ~/.dwm-status ] || mkfifo ~/.dwm-status
dwm <> ~/.dwm-status &
while true;
  do
  echo\
  i: $(
  for name in /sys/class/net/*;
    do
    [ `cat $name/operstate` == up ] && ([ -d $name/wireless ] &&\
     (echo $name | sed -re 's/.*\/([a-z0-9])/w.\1/') ||\
     (echo $name | sed -re 's/.*\/([a-z0-9])/\1/'));
  done )\
 `uptime | sed -re 's/ ([0-9]+:[0-9]+:[0-9]+).* ([0-9]+.[0-9]+,
[0-9]+.[0-9]+, [0-9]+.[0-9]+)/t: \1 l: \2/'`\
 `sed -nre 's/remaining.* ([0-9]+ mA).*/b: \1/p' <
/proc/acpi/battery/C1B4/state`\
> ~/.dwm-status
  sleep 60;
done

For those interested:

#define SELBORDERCOLOR "#bb0000"
#define SELBGCOLOR "#bb0000"
#define SELFGCOLOR "#222222"

The SELBORDERCOLOR being the same as SELBGCOLOR gives the 'bar' a more
integrated look with the 'active' window (given that it's at the top)
kind of looking like a tab.
