It is recommended that a standards\-based tool such as \fIwmctrl(1)\fR be used whenever possible, in order for scripts to work with other window managers\&. .SH "CAVEATS" .sp \fIfluxbox\-remote(1)\fR uses the X11 protocol to communicate with \fIfluxbox(1)\fR\&. Therefore, it is possible for any user with access to the \fIX(7)\fR server to use \fIfluxbox\-remote(1)\fR\&. For this reason, several key commands have been disabled\&. Users should be aware of the security implications when enabling \fIfluxbox\-remote(1)\fR, especially when using a forwarded \fIX(7)\fR connection\&. .SH "RESOURCES" .PP session\&.screen0\&.allowRemoteActions: <boolean> .RS 4 This resource in ~/\&.fluxbox/init must be set to \(oqtrue\(cq in order for \fIfluxbox\-remote(1)\fR to function\&. Please read the \fBCAVEATS\fR first\&. .RE .SH "ENVIRONMENT" .sp In order to communicate with \fIfluxbox(1)\fR, the DISPLAY environment variable must be set properly\&. Usually, the value should be \(oq:0\&.0\(cq\&. .SH "AUTHORS" .sp This man page written by Mark Tiefenbruck <mark at fluxbox\&.org> .SH "SEE ALSO" .sp fluxbox(1) fluxbox\-keys(5) wmctrl(1)
