bspwm problem

Hey guys, i've been into Artix for few days now. Everything works normally even with a little problem.
But there is a problem that bugging me, and that is my bspwm. It sometimes stopped working in the middle out of nowhere. For example the sxhkd, rofi and polybar stop functioning. I found the solution for this by reloading bspwm (killall bspwm) in other tty screen (ctrl+alt+2/3/4). But this problem is occurring so many times.
I never encounter this problem when i was using arch, even though i rice it the same.

If anyone is using bspwm and ever encountered this problem, do have any solutions for this ? thanks

i'm still newbie in linux and everytime if  i encountered a problem that is hard to solve, i tend to reinstall it from scratch again lol. I dont want this to be solve by reinstalling

edit:
sorry wrong board, it should be post in Application and Software *idk how to move/delete my post

How do you start bspwm? You use xinit or a login manager?

To start, bspwm is not a newbie-friendly WM. Next, the error could likely be due to some kind of misconfiguration. I highly doubt it is due to not using systemd. As usual in GNU/Linux, you need to check logs, and possibly to instruct programs to generate more verbose output to generate said logs.

Today this happened to me. To help future people who might see this post, the problem was that the bspwmrc file did not have executable permission to my user. So I just ran the command chmod +x bspwmrc.
