VPN run_watch in i3status

enigmatic_jihad · 2020-07-05 05:40:23

I have

order += "run_watch VPN"

in my i3status configuration. And

run_watch VPN {
    pidfile = "/var/run/vpnc/pid"
}

I'm using nordvpn, and there is no pid file in that directory. Can you help me to watch nordvpn there?

Read the service file and see where it is actually writing the PID file, and then use that path.

I search on internet and the default conf says nothing. I tried to find it with

locate "*.pid"

, but there is no PID file.
