well, I shall reply just to draw a line.
I managed to do everything.
So I created .xsession file with the following lines:
while true
do
xsetroot -name "`df -h / | awk 'END {print "root:" $5"|"}' | sed 's/Use%//'`
`df -h /home| awk 'END {print "home:" $5"|"}' | sed 's/Use%//'` `uptime |
awk '{prin

That's what you want, put that wherever your DM expects it.

I highly recommend writing a tiny looping shell script .e.g. each of the
various ideas below, and watching what they do with pstree or 'ps fax'.

With a display manager, I think you're supposed to use . xsession, or
edit the dwm.desktop file to execute a script containing what would be
in the .xinitrc. I would imagine that a lot of p

I'm sorry guys, I'm just a user, and I can't write shell scrip
My apologies. I am at work, no chance to look at my own .xinitrc but I
was under the impression I did use exec dwm.
Perhaps I don't and am just a bit addled.

Doing exec won't allow for execution of the loop since dwm is going to
replace the shell process.

Yeah, your variant is better, but why should I make exec dwm? when I log in
via kde login manager?( I edited sysconfig, so my default wm is dwm)
That is, when I see a login prompt I enter password and start dwm as
default. When I make .xinitrc, dwm do not start, I can see only desktop
empty screen.
Firstly: you are not closing one of the three nested loops.
Secondly: You don't need that many loops, just one infinite loop
should be fine. Also, that "&" makes it so it both runs dwm AND
continues the loop, this is a good thing.
Thirdly:: calling dwm is not a good idea inside any of the loops

Hi everybody, after using wmii for a week, I decided to try dwm, and liked
it even MORE!
But I have a question, how do I run some script output in my taskbar the way
