How to make dwmblocks update when i press volume key or brightness keys.

Help with update signals.
I read up on Luke Smith's github repos of dwmblocks, here he states that I have to run the pkill command, but how the hell do I run it? Where do I put it, do I put it on my startup script or do I do something else?

dwmblocks-async: An asynchronous, clickable statusbar for dwm
Back when I first moved to dwm, I used Luke's build of dwmblocks. It worked fine but I had noticed two subtle issues with it.
