Auto-update jgmenu on package installation

A simple hook that will kill your jgmenu instance so that the menus update whenever you add or remove packages. Ignores package upgrades as they don't require a menu update. Separated the actual action to a script so that it doesn't produce an error if jgmenu is not running.

/usr/share/libalpm/hooks/jgmenu.hook

[Trigger]
Operation = Install
Operation = Remove
Type = Package
Target = *

[Action]
Depends = jgmenu
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/share/libalpm/scripts/jgmenu-update

/usr/share/libalpm/scripts/jgmenu-update

#!/bin/bash

if [ $(ps aux | grep -v grep | awk '{print $11}' | grep jgmenu 2> /dev/null) ]
then
 killall jgmenu
fi
