NAME

       fluxbox-remote - command line access to key commands for fluxbox(1)

SYNOPSIS

       fluxbox-remote command

DESCRIPTION

       fluxbox-remote(1) is designed to allow scripts to execute most key commands from fluxbox(1). fluxbox-remote(1) will only work with
       fluxbox(1): its communications with fluxbox(1) are not standardized in any way. It is recommended that a standards-based tool such as
       wmctrl(1) be used whenever possible, in order for scripts to work with other window managers.

CAVEATS

       fluxbox-remote(1) uses the X11 protocol to communicate with fluxbox(1). Therefore, it is possible for any user with access to the X(7)
       server to use fluxbox-remote(1). For this reason, several key commands have been disabled. Users should be aware of the security
       implications when enabling fluxbox-remote(1), especially when using a forwarded X(7) connection.

RESOURCES

       session.screen0.allowRemoteActions: <boolean>
	   This resource in ~/.fluxbox/init must be set to 'true' in order for fluxbox-remote(1) to function. Please read the CAVEATS first.

ENVIRONMENT

       In order to communicate with fluxbox(1), the DISPLAY environment variable must be set properly. Usually, the value should be ':0.0'.

NAME

       fbrun - display run dialog window

SYNOPSIS

       fbrun [options]

DESCRIPTION

       fbrun(1) is basically equivalent to the "Run..." dialog in other desktop environments. This means that it is an easy way to start a program
       that isn't contained in the menu (or needs a special set of parameters for this particular invocation).

       Pressing "Enter" will close the window and execute the command in your present $SHELL. Pressing "Esc" will close the window and does not
       execute anything.

       Another way fbrun can be useful is to be called from the menu with a preloaded command line that you can edit and then execute. An example
       might be sshing to a very long host name with lots of options of which one changes all the time. In this case, you could add an entry for
       fbrun to your menu that contains all the options and the host name. When you use said entry, you could edit the line as necessary and
       execute it.
