ondemand command equivalent for non-flwm window managers?
« on: February 14, 2010, 06:37:05 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 ;)
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

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.
