Title: ondemand command equivalent for non-flwm window managers?
Post by: nbt384 on February 14, 2010, 03:37:05 AM

Hi

I've been using ice window manager and found that I can't run the ondemand command out of a terminal.

Is there any other way to get the ondemand sub-menu up on the main menu?

Cheers

It is WM-specific, and currently only supported for flwm and lxde. Patches welcome ;)

In due time. It is an introductory concept that is still under development so currently only supporting the default window manager.

Wierd - I just tried installing lxde and ondemand doesn't work there either.

What do you mean 'doesn't work' ?

I installed lxde, installed some programs "On Demand". Typed in "ondemand" into a command window and, just as in any other wm besides flwm, it says "sh: ondemand: not found".

It is part of flwm.

In the programming and scripting section I posted a quick ondemand script for LXDE users (It might actually work for anyone whose menu uses freedesktop standards) though it could do with a bit of work, as robert has done a lot of work to ondemand since I originally posted it, and I hacked my script out of the original ondemand script in about 5 minutes.
