man wmir (Commandes) - window manager improved 2 remote

NAME

wmir - window manager improved 2 remote

SYNOPSIS

wmir [-s socketfile] <action[ args]> ][-f]

wmir -v

DESCRIPTION

wmir is a client to access wmi* fileservers for the command line and scripts. It can be used to configure wmii(1).

OPTIONS

-s socketfile
lets you specify the socketfile which wmir should connect to. If the environment variable WMIR_SOCKET is set and points to a socket file, wmir will use that file, if this option is not supplied.
-f
reads from stdin, interesting for interactive wmir sessions or for scripts who write/read a bunch of data, because this speeds things up due to missing process creation/destruction.
-v
prints version information to stderr, then exits.

EXAMPLES

$ wmir read /
This gives you an idea about what the wmii filesystem currently looks like.
$ wmir write /wmii/ctl "exec xclock"
