fluxbox-remote(1) =============== Mark Tiefenbruck <mark@fluxbox.org> v1.0.0, 6 August, 2008 NAME ---- fluxbox-remote - command line access to key commands for fluxbox(1) SYNOPSIS -------- *fluxbox-remote* 'command' DESCRIPTION ----------- 'fluxbox-remote(1)' is designed to allow scripts to execute most key commands from 'fluxbox(1)'. 'fluxbox-remote(1)' will only work with 'fluxbox(1)': its communications with 'fluxbox(1)' are not standardized in any way. It is recommended that a standards-based tool such as 'wmctrl(1)' be used whenever possible, in order for scripts to work with other window managers. CAVEATS ------- 'fluxbox-remote(1)' uses the X11 protocol to communicate with 'fluxbox(1)'. Therefore, it is possible for any user with access to the 'X(7)' server to use 'fluxbox-remote(1)'. For this reason, several key commands have been disabled. Users should be aware of the security implications when enabling 'fluxbox-remote(1)', especially when using a forwarded 'X(7)' connection. RESOURCES --------- session.screen0.allowRemoteActions: <boolean>:: This resource in ~/.fluxbox/init must be set to `true' in order for 'fluxbox-remote(1)' to function. Please read the *CAVEATS* first. ENVIRONMENT ----------- In order to communicate with 'fluxbox(1)', the DISPLAY environment variable must be set properly. Usually, the value should be `:0.0'. SEE ALSO -------- fluxbox(1), fluxbox-keys(5), wmctrl(1)
