Re: [dwm] A question about drawbar()

You swhouldn't need to mess with drawbar() for this. Just put these
shell lines in your ${HOME}/.xinitrc . Mine looks like this :

while true
do
echo `date "+%m/%d %H%M"`
sleep 60
done | dwm

(you only need to pole date once a minute for as accurate as you are
getting)
