💖 FLUXBOX-REMOTE 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the fluxbox-remote(1) manual page — it lives in the Fluxbox Manual and it's literally your little backstage pass to fluxbox(1). sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

fluxbox-remote — command line access to key commands for fluxbox(1) 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fluxbox-remote command

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, fluxbox-remote(1) was designed to let scripts execute most of the key commands from fluxbox(1). no cap, that's the whole job.

but — and this is the important part — fluxbox-remote(1) will only work with fluxbox(1). its communications with fluxbox(1) are not standardized in any way. not even a little. it's giving ✨situationship✨, not a real protocol.

so 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. iykyk 👑

💀 CAVEATS 💀

not me having to deliver the scary part 😭

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). yes, any. 🙈

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. fr fr, this one is not a vibe — read it twice. 🔥

🎀 RESOURCES 🎀

  • session.screen0.allowRemoteActions: <boolean> — this resource in ~/.fluxbox/init must be set to 'true' in order for fluxbox-remote(1) to function. and bestie, please read the CAVEATS first. please. 🙏

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

in order to communicate with fluxbox(1), the DISPLAY environment variable must be set properly. usually, the value should be ':0.0'. 🖥️✨
