Make the status command a process group leader and change the kill(2)
calls to target the new process group. Signals sent by swaybar will then
be received by both the status command and its children, if any. While
here, check the result of fork(2).
Without this, children spawned by the status command may not receive the
signals sent by swaybar. As a result, these children may be orphaned on
reload.
The issue could be shown by setting the bar to
bar {
status_command i3status | tee /tmp/i3status.out
}
which would leave orphaned processes for each reload of sway
$ ps o pid,ppid,cmd | grep i3status | grep -v grep
43633 43624 sh -c i3status | tee /tmp/i3status.out
43634 43633 i3status
43635 43633 tee /tmp/i3status.out
$ swaymsg reload
$ ps o pid,ppid,cmd | grep i3status | grep -v grep
43634 1 i3status
43635 1 tee /tmp/i3status.out
43801 43788 sh -c i3status | tee /tmp/i3status.out
43802 43801 i3status
43803 43801 tee /tmp/i3status.out
This fixes #5584.

Installation
From Packages
Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.
Compiling from Source
Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.
Install dependencies:
- meson *
- wlroots
- wayland
- wayland-protocols *
- pcre
- json-c
- pango
- cairo
- gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
- scdoc (optional: man pages) *
- git (optional: version info) *
* Compile-time dep
Run these commands:
meson build/
ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install
On systems without logind nor seatd, you need to suid the sway binary:
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.
Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config.
Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.
Running
Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
