Configure i3bar and VPN pid
In this case, I use the privatvpn script, which install the OpenVPN client.
Replace the command line in /usr/bin/privatvpn
with:
/usr/sbin/openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/privatvpn.conf --writepid /var/run/openvpn.pid
Then point the .pid file in ~/.i3status.conf
, in run_watch VPN
:
pidfile = "/var/run/openvpn.pid"
