You swhouldn't need to mess with drawbar() for this. Just put these
shell lines in your ${HOME}/.xinitrc . Mine looks like this :
while true
do
echo `date "+%m/%d %H%M"`
sleep 60
done | dwm
(you only need to pole date once a minute for as accurate as you are
getting)

A friend of mine wrote the following shell code to display the date

sleep 2
done | while true; do dwm; done
I was wondering if someone could point me to how i can manipulate
the drawbar() function to achieve the same result.
Studying the source code, left me kind of confused, and i dont know
enough about how system calls manipulate the standard streams.
Just point me how to print for example a simple text string after
the title, and i think i will figure out the rest.
