    [2]wmii's status bar.
 
-   If you want a more featureful status bar for wmii, check out
-   [3]szs3rd, from which I shamelessly copied and hacked the mpc.py
-   module.

-Usage
+Installation and Usage
 
-   When run, the script simply outputs current track information (or
-   '--Not playing--') to standard output.  To have this update
-   continuously, run it repeatedly inside a loop construct, for
-   example (using sh):
+   (Instructions are based around the setup for wmii 2 in [8]Debian)
 
- while true
- do
-     mpd-status.py
-     sleep 1
- done
+    1. Place mpd-status.py somewhere, like /usr/local/bin/ or
+       ~/.wmii/scripts/
+    2. Copy /etc/wmii/status.sh to ~/.wmii/status.sh and edit it, or
+       edit /etc/wmii/status.sh directly.
+    3. Edit the following line to include "`python2.4
+       /path/to/mpc.py`" (see patch below for an example):
 
-   Some example 'status' rc scripts for wmii 2.5 are contained in the
-   examples directory.
+ text="`date` `uptime | sed -e 's/.*://' -e 's/,//g'`"
+
+    4. Restart wmii: /etc/wmii/rc restart
+
+   You should see some extra text on your wmibar, either "--Not
+   playing--" or your currently playing/paused track.
