NAME

6       fluxbox-remote - command line access to key commands for fluxbox(1)
7

SYNOPSIS

9       fluxbox-remote command
10

DESCRIPTION

12       fluxbox-remote(1) is designed to allow scripts to execute most key
13       commands from fluxbox(1). fluxbox-remote(1) will only work with
14       fluxbox(1): its communications with fluxbox(1) are not standardized in
15       any way. It is recommended that a standards-based tool such as
16       wmctrl(1) be used whenever possible, in order for scripts to work with
17       other window managers.
18

CAVEATS

20       fluxbox-remote(1) uses the X11 protocol to communicate with fluxbox(1).
21       Therefore, it is possible for any user with access to the X(7) server
22       to use fluxbox-remote(1). For this reason, several key commands have
23       been disabled. Users should be aware of the security implications when
24       enabling fluxbox-remote(1), especially when using a forwarded X(7)
25       connection.
26

RESOURCES

28       session.screen0.allowRemoteActions: <boolean>
29           This resource in ~/.fluxbox/init must be set to ‘true’ in order for
30           fluxbox-remote(1) to function. Please read the CAVEATS first.
31

ENVIRONMENT

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