Xmonad/Config archive/Josh Rickmar's dzenscript

This script handles the right side of my statusbar. It shows my system using uname, my currently playing song from XMMS2, and the date and time.

#!/bin/sh

UPDATE=1
SYSTEM=`uname -sr`

    DATE=`date +"%a %B %d, %I:%M %p"`

        # another if statement, stopped or not
        if [ `nyxmms2 status -f "\\${playback_status}"` = "Stopped" ]; then
