why not just: dwm kill $statuspidI see no use in backgrounding dwm, and then waiting for it. What did I miss?
Nothing; backgrounding dwm was left from trying a few other ways to do it. Thank you.
Then it can be simplified further: while true; do xsetroot -name ... sleep 1 done & dwm kill $!I wonder whether the README should be updated accordingly. But it is there for years and nobody seemed to notice before. I attach the trivial patch, just in case.
