/* FvwmPipe v0.1 Copyright 1996 Matthias Ettrich (ettrich@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de) Permission is granted to distribute this software freely for any purpose as long as the copyright and this copyright notice remain intact. Simple hacked module to control fvwm from outside. When invoked this module creates a pipe "$HOME/.fvwmpipe.in". Whatever you write to this pipe will be passed through to fvwm. For example: echo "restart" > $HOME/.fvwmpipe.in (restarts fvwm) or echo "AddtoMenu \"StartMenu\" \"Emacs\" Exec emacs " > $HOME/.fvwmpipe.in (adds emacs to the StartMenu) or echo "DestroyMenu \"StartMenu\" " > $HOME/.fvwmpipe.in (destroys the StartMenu) The module makes it possible to write config-tools for fvwm in any language, for example TCL/TK. The code is somewhat based on the FvwmTalk module. */ /* This module, and the entire NoClutter program, and the concept for * interfacing this module to the Window Manager, are all original work * by Robert Nation * * Copyright 1994, Robert Nation.
