Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/11

The bar does not start when setting in sway config like so:

bar {
  swaybar_command ironbar
}

Can workaround by executing directly (I think):

exec ironbar

It seems that since the addition of IPC control, launching ironbar with swaybar_command always fails because of unexpected arguments.

Oh darn, I never considered that & haven't touched Sway in a while because it's plagued with issues on Nvidia. I'll re-open this and have a look into it as soon as I can. Thanks for letting me know.

There's no hurry for me. I can easily work around it with a wrapper shell script.
