Statusblocks is very heavily based on ashish-yadav11/dwmblocks, the reason why I decided to make this rewrite is because dwmblocks ran slow and with a lot of bugs on my computer. Statusblocks has yet to give me any troubles.
- Update config.h with your own config
- Compile using
make - Install to /usr/local/bin using
sudo make install
When a block is clicked, its corresponding command is ran but this time the first argument will be the button used to click it. If theres no first argument the block must return the text to be rendered.
To update a block, you must send SIGNAL + RTMIN + 10 to statusblocks i.e:
# Block blocks[] = {
# /* CMD INTERVAL SIGNAL */
# { "sb-prices", 120, 1},
# { "sb-forecast", 3600, 2},
# { "sb-datetime", 0.25, 4},
# { "sb-mem", 4, 6},
# { "sb-cpu", 4, 7}
# };
# We want to update blocks[1] or sb-forecast,
# SIGNAL is 2
# RTMIN is usually 34
# 2 + 10 + 34 = 46
kill -46 $(pidof statusblocks)
# block 1 will be updated in the next refreshThis program works exclusively with the statuscmd patch. Though the program will still work without it.
