.SH "Name"
fluxbox-remote \- command line access to key commands for fluxbox(1)
.SH "Synopsis"
.sp
\fBfluxbox\-remote\fR \fIcommand\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fIfluxbox\-remote(1)\fR is designed to allow scripts to execute most key commands from \fIfluxbox(1)\fR\&. \fIfluxbox\-remote(1)\fR will only work with \fIfluxbox(1)\fR: its communications with \fIfluxbox(1)\fR are not standardized in any way\&. 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 `true\' 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 `:0\&.0\'\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.sp
fluxbox(1), fluxbox\-keys(5), wmctrl(1)
