noob: Help me pipe output of XMonadContrib.DynamicLog to dzen?
I have dzen2 running in the slot, displaying a date. I have this in my Config.hs: import XMonadContrib.DynamicLog logHook = dynamicLog http://www.xmonad.org/haddock/XMonadContrib-DynamicLog.html says: Log events in: 1 2 [3] 4 8 format. Suitable to pipe into dzen. (Log? Where?) I have studied http://dzen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/README, but can't figure out how to do this. Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Peek-a-boo FREE Tricks & Treats for You! http://www.reallivemoms.com?ocid=TXT_TAGHM&loc=us

A logHook function will send output on xmonad's standard out. So in your .xinitrc or .xsession file (wherever you start xmonad) you need to pipe its output to dzen2: /path/to/xmonad | dzen2 -options... Hope that helps! -Brent
The above instructions worked. Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Peek-a-boo FREE Tricks & Treats for You! http://www.reallivemoms.com?ocid=TXT_TAGHM&loc=us
