How are you restarting your dwmbar?
Need suggestion on how are you restarting your dwm status bar set with xsetroot and not the classic dwmblocks. I have a script dwmbar which loads the status bar. Then I use another script which reloads the status bar whenever I press volume key, which takes significant time.

Your usage would look like: { MODKEY, XK_s, spawn, SHCMD("systemctl suspend") }, `` Also a better idea to suspend could be to lock system when recovered from suspended state. Check [this script](https://github.com/chhajedji/scripts/blob/master/suspend_lock.sh) to suspend the computer. It usesi3lock` to lock system.
