7

SYNOPSIS

9       awesome-client [-h|--help] [command [command...]]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       awesome-client is a remote command line interface to awesome. It
13       communicates with awesome via D-Bus, allowing remote execution of Lua
14       code.
15

USAGE

17       awesome-client reads commands passed on the command line or from
18       standard input and sends them via D-Bus to awesome. If rlwrap is
19       installed, it will be used to provide a readline command line
20       interface.
21
22       The awful.remote module has to be loaded if you want this command to
23       work.

30           # The following does not return anything on the command line,
31           # but will show a notification.

33           > naughty = require("naughty")
34           > naughty.notify({

36           > text="This is a notification sent from the command line!"})
37           > '

39           # Entering read-eval-print-loop mode
40           # This mode will send every line to awesome, exactly the same as passing
41           # multiple commands on the command line.
42           $ awesome-client
43           awesome# return 1+1
