FLUXBOX-REMOTE(1)               Fluxbox Manual               FLUXBOX-REMOTE(1)

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'.
