I would need to go back to my old dwm config file but I think what you’re looking for is this patch. In bspwm this is achieved with the “follow” option as shown in my example.

To restart dwm without login out and back in you’ll need this in your .xinitrc:

<span style="color:#323232;">while :; do
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    ssh-agent dwm
</span><span style="color:#323232;">done
</span>

Then whenever you kill dwm with kill -HUP $(pidof -s dwm) it will actually be reloaded. Seems like there’s also 2 patches to do that now (note that they both mention the above method as well).
