Description

Hi everyone,

I have issues using net-speed.sh. I'am new on github so please excuse me if i'm not asking help in the write place.

I use ArcoLinuxB I3 on my t470s, and try to monitor speed with net-speed.sh.
I have a i3status.conf file that I start like this
`status_command i3status -c ~/.config/i3/i3status.conf`

I followed the script, made the script executable and added the following command :
`status_command exec ~/.config/i3/net-speed.sh`

Unfortunately, this doesn't work, it seems that the command taken into account is the last one in the conf file.

Could someone help me solving this problem ?

Thanks for reading !

Research direction

Read ~/.config/i3/i3status.conf and ~/.config/i3/net-speed.sh, starting with the status_command entries and how the script is invoked. Verify the configuration behavior with i3status; done means the intended network-speed output appears in the i3 status bar.
