dwl-patches/_STALE_PATCHES/restartdwl.md

Description

This patch allows you to restart dwl with a keybinding.
NOTE: that all of your applications are gonna get killed on dwl restart.

The function creates a file at /tmp/restart_dwl and exits dwl.
You have to modify your dwl launch script in order for this patch to work.
Example dwl launch script:

do=true
while $do ||  [ -f /tmp/restart_dwl ]; do
    do=false
    rm -rf /tmp/restart_dwl > /dev/null 2>&1
    dwl
done

It's a do-while that checks if /tmp/restart_dwl exists after the first run of dwl.
If this file exists delete it and start dwl again.
