Can text in the bar be updated by command line or Applescripts?

Hi @MonKong,

in the latest released version there is no built in way to do that, but you can easily achive it like this:

• write a simple plugin that outputs contents of a file to menubar
• update this file from command line or Apple Script (independently from SwiftBar)
• tell SwiftBar to reload plugin using URL scheme

In upcoming version this will become much easier with Ephemeral Plugins #357
