This is so that old instances of the bars don't stack up over time.<br>

<br>
Yeah, this is fine.<br>
<br>
Here is how I do it (I authored DynamicBars):<br>
<br>
<a href="https://paste.fedoraproject.org/317789/54474221/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://paste.fedoraproject.org/317789/54474221/</a><br>
<br>
I also use 3 monitors at work, so the setup is:<br>
<br>
- xmonad talks to xmonadpropwrite which writes a property to the root<br>
window with the xmonad part of the bar (per monitor);<br>
- xmonad also starts and stops xmobar@.service instances in my systemd<br>
--user session (one service per monitor, specified like<br>
xmobar@0.service for monitor 0);<br>
- when xmonad restarts, xmobar doesn't notice (this was done because<br>
3 xmobar instances was flaky and all of them wouldn't always start,<br>
so I made them able to be started independently of xmonad); and<br>
- xmobar is started with the -C argument to give an extra command<br>
which indicates the property to read from the root window.<br>
