awesome-client [-h|--help] [command [command...]]
awesome-client is a remote command line interface to awesome. It communicates with awesome via D-Bus, allowing remote execution of Lua code.
awesome-client reads commands passed on the command line or from standard input and sends them via D-Bus to awesome. If rlwrap is installed, it will be used to provide a readline command line interface.
The awful.remote module has to be loaded if you want this command to work.
$ awesome-client 'return 1+1, "Hello, world"\
double 2
string "Hello, world" # The following does not return anything on the command line, # but will show a notification. $ awesome-client ' > naughty = require("naughty") > naughty.notify({ > title="CLI Notification", > text="This is a notification sent from the command line!"}) > ' # Entering read-eval-print-loop mode # This mode will send every line to awesome, exactly the same as passing # multiple commands on the command line. $ awesome-client awesome# return 1+1
double 2 awesome# return 1+1, "Hello, world"
