[xmonad] xmonad and conky

[Kettmann, David H]

Hello all, I hope this is the right list, as I am not able to find much on my issue.

I am running XMonad and I love it! I am using dzen2 for my status bar and it works just fine. I also have another dzen2 bar setup that runs conky and it does not update. My clock is static at whenever my X session starts and my cpu, memory, and disk stats do not change. I'm not sure if this is a problem with XMonad, dzen2, or conky, but I've run out of places to look. Here is the relevant portion of my xmonad.hs file. If more is needed, let me know and I can paste it.

main = do
  -- Config starts
  dzen <- spawnPipe myStatusBar
  conkytop <- spawnPipe myTopBar
  conkympd <- spawnPipe myMPDBar
  checkTopicConfig myTopics myTopicConfig
  xmonad $ myUrgencyHook $ defaultConfig
    { terminal = myTerminal
    , normalBorderColor = myInactiveBorderColor
    , focusedBorderColor = myActiveBorderColor
    , workspaces = myTopics
    , modMask = myModMask
    , keys = myKeys
    , manageHook = myManageHook <+> manageDocks <+> manageHook defaultConfig
    , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ myLayoutHook
    , logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ myDzenPP dzen
    }

myStatusBar = "dzen2 -p -x '0' -y '0' -h '16' -w '1100' -ta 'l' -fg '" ++ myNormalFGColor ++ "' -bg '" ++ myNormalBGColor ++ "' -fn '" ++ myFont ++ "'"
myTopBar = "conky -c .conkytop | dzen2 -x '1100' -y '0' -h '16' -w '340' -ta 'r' -fg '" ++ myNormalFGColor ++ "' -bg '" ++ myNormalBGColor ++ "' -fn '" ++ myFont ++ "'"
myMPDBar = "conky -c .conkympd | dzen2 -x '1441' -y '0' -h '16' -w '1280' -ta 'l' -fg '" ++ myNormalFGColor ++ "' -bg '" ++ myNormalBGColor ++ "' -fn '" ++ myFont ++ "'"



Thanks for the help!
