[bspwm] need reload polybar for dunst [RESOLVED]

Hello

I took a script from the net to have the arch updates in real time in polybar ... here it is:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

NOTIFY_ICON=/usr/share/icons/Papirus/32x32/apps/system-software-update.svg

get_total_updates() { UPDATES=$(checkupdates 2>/dev/null | wc -l); }

while true; do
    get_total_updates

    # notify user of updates
    if hash notify-send &>/dev/null; then
        if (( UPDATES > 12 )); then
            notify-send -u critical -i $NOTIFY_ICON \
                "Il faut vraiment MAJ!" "$UPDATES New packages"
        elif (( UPDATES > 6 )); then
            notify-send -u normal -i $NOTIFY_ICON \
                "Une pt'ite MAJ s'impose!" "$UPDATES New packages"
        elif (( UPDATES > 2 )); then
            notify-send -u low -i $NOTIFY_ICON \
                "Gogo?" "$UPDATES New packages"
        fi
    fi

    # when there are updates available
    # every 10 seconds another check for updates is done
    while (( UPDATES > 0 )); do
        if (( UPDATES == 1 )); then
            echo "$UPDATES"
        elif (( UPDATES > 1 )); then
            echo "$UPDATES"
        else
            echo "It's good!"
        fi
        sleep 10
        get_total_updates
    done

    # when no updates are available, use a longer loop, this saves on CPU
    # and network uptime, only checking once every 30 min for new updates
    while (( UPDATES == 0 )); do
        echo "It's good!"
        sleep 1800
        get_total_updates
    done
done

Everything works perfectly in polybar the number of updates is displayed well, but I have to reload polybar to get the dunst notification ...

I run dunst and polybar via bspwm and of course I installed pacman-contrib and libnotify.

I also looked in "/usr/share/dbus-1/services" to see if there is another dbus daemon but no, just "org.knopwob.dunt.service".

I also checked the polybar launch script but nothing worked there .. after several manipulations even just launching "polybar mybar"  it does not work.

#!/bin/bash

DIR="$HOME/.config/polybar"

# Terminate already running bar instances
killall -q polybar

# Wait until the processes have been shut down
while pgrep -u $UID -x polybar >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done

# Launch Polybar, using default config location ~/.config/polybar/config
polybar -q top -c "$DIR"/config.ini &

voila, I remain available for any other info! thank you in advance !
Nico

Re: [bspwm] need reload polybar for dunst [RESOLVED]

finally I mix and modified the config with "notify-send"

#!/bin/sh

icon=""
NOTIFY_ICON=/home/nico/.local/share/icons/oomox-red/48x48/apps/system-software-update.svg

if ! updates_arch=$(checkupdates 2> /dev/null | wc -l ); then
    updates_arch=0
fi

# if ! updates_aur=$(yay -Qum 2> /dev/null | wc -l); then
# if ! updates_aur=$(cower -u 2> /dev/null | wc -l); then
# if ! updates_aur=$(trizen -Su --aur --quiet | wc -l); then
# if ! updates_aur=$(rua upgrade --printonly 2> /dev/null | wc -l); then
if ! updates_aur=$(pikaur -Qua 2> /dev/null | wc -l); then
    updates_aur=0
fi

updates=$(("$updates_arch" + "$updates_aur"))

if [ "$updates" -gt 0 ]; then
    echo "%{F#DB4B4B}$icon %{F#C0CAF5}$updates Packages"
else
    echo "%{F#6D91DE}$icon %{F#C0CAF5}it's good!"
fi

if hash notify-send &> /dev/null; then
    if (( updates > 8 )); then
        notify-send -u critical -i $NOTIFY_ICON \
            "Il faut vraiment mettre a jour!!" "$updates New packages"
    elif (( updates > 4 )); then
        notify-send -u normal -i $NOTIFY_ICON \
            "Tu peu mettre a jour!" "$updates New packages"
    elif (( updates > 0 )); then
        notify-send -u low -i $NOTIFY_ICON \
            "$updates New packages"
    fi
fi

[module/updates]
type = custom/script
exec = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/updates-pacman-aurhelper.sh
interval = 450
tail = true
click-right = urxvt -e zsh -c "pikaur -Syu && sleep 8"
click-left = urxvt -e zsh -c "checkupdates && sleep 8
