Autostarting with dwm doesn't work #47

Closed kigel closed 1 year ago

kigel commented 1 year ago

I have ' dwmblocks & ' in my .xinitrc file and when i startx i can't see the statusbar there is only the basic vanilla dwm thing, but when i open htop i can see that dwmblocks is running. it works only when i run ' dwmblocks ' in a terminal... (tried using a dwm startup script patch and still no progress)

echo "$(date '+%I:%M:%S')" for some reason the problem is in this script that is run by a block to show the time...

i figured out what was the problem, for some reason dwmblocks didn't know where was my script even though i added it to the path in my .bashrc and /bin/sh is symlinked to bash so i have no idea why that even happend
