Im trying to write a script for my xmobar to show my server status. Its mainly a physical server and 2 virtual machines.

I tried by sending ping and checking the response, but the xmobar freezes everytime its executed until it finishes the run.

xmobar expects commands that it runs to return quickly. You will need to have a separate script that does the check and logs its result to a file, then check the contents of the file from xmobar. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
