systemd: polybar wait for i3 This should ensure that the IPC socket to get i3 workspaces works on polybar startup In reality this doesn't help because systemd marks the service as active before the socket file is created, so startup is still racy 2020-03-21 23:35:09 +00:00			`After=graphical-session.target pulseaudio.socket i3.service`

polybar: use 'polybar-msg cmd restart' to reload This is technically more of a restart than a reload, but it's the closest thing without actually restarting the main pid.
