NAME
awesome-client - awesome window manager remote execution
SYNOPSIS
awesome-client [-h|--help] [command [command...]]
DESCRIPTION
awesome-client is a remote command line interface to awesome. It
communicates with awesome via D-Bus, allowing remote execution of Lua
code.
USAGE
awesome-client reads commands passed on the command line or from
standard input and sends them via D-Bus to awesome. If rlwrap is
installed, it will be used to provide a readline command line
interface.
The awful.remote module has to be loaded if you want this command to
work.
EXAMPLES
$ awesome-client 'return 1+1, "Hello, world"\
double 2
string "Hello, world"
# The following does not return anything on the command line,
# but will show a notification.
$ awesome-client '
> naughty = require("naughty")
> naughty.notify({
> title="CLI Notification",
> text="This is a notification sent from the command line!"})
> '
# Entering read-eval-print-loop mode
# This mode will send every line to awesome, exactly the same as passing
# multiple commands on the command line.
$ awesome-client
awesome# return 1+1
double 2
awesome# return 1+1, "Hello, world"
double 2
string "Hello, world"
awesome#
