| Here is basic impl of the functionality (yeah, VERY basic). At the
| moment it supports receiving commands through named pipe
| (/tmp/openboxctl) and sending them to the handler function. I'm not sure
| on the syntax, which should be used for the commans, so I have
| implemented only `exit` command for now.
|
| Instructions:
|
| 1. Get latest openbox sources (i have used 3.2, but CVS should work as
| well)
| 2. Apply patch
| 3. automake (only Makefile.am i affected by patch, not Makefile.in)
| 4. Build, install, restart
| 5. echo exit >/tmp/openboxctl (for the test)
|
| That is. When I'll get more free time (probably tomorrow), I'll continue
| playing with it.
|
| PS. How can I get invitation to openbox at freenode? My IRC ident is IceD^.
|
| Best regards,
| Andrew.
