15.SH "SYNOPSIS"
16\fBfluxbox\-remote\fR \fIcommand\fR
17.sp
18.SH "DESCRIPTION"
19\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\.
20.sp
21.SH "CAVEATS"
22\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\.
