AWESOME2-MENU(1)                                              AWESOME2-MENU(1)


NAME

       awesome2-menu - awesome2 menu system


SYNOPSIS

       awesome2-menu [-c config] [-e command] <title>


DESCRIPTION

       awesome2-menu is a tool which will pop up a menu on your screen,
       grabbing keyboard and allowing you to search through an initial
       completion list, or using your files as completion.


USAGE

       By default, awesome2-menu reads completion from standard input. If
       nothing is read, the completion list is built from the current working
       directory files.

       To build a menu with all the executable files of /usr/bin:

           ls /usr/bin | awesome2-menu -e 'exec ' 'Execute'

       To build the same menu and run the programs in a terminal window:

           ls /usr/bin | awesome2-menu -e 'xterm -e exec ' 'Execute in terminal'

       To build an ssh connection prompt:

           cut -d' ' -f1 ~/.ssh/known_hosts | cut -d, -f1 | awesome2-menu -e 'xterm -e ssh ' 'ssh to:'

       If you do not specify the -e option, the result will be sent to
       standard output. You can do things like that:

           gzip "$(awesome2-menu '"File to gzip')"


OPTIONS

       -c config
           Use an alternate configuration file instead of $HOME/.awesome2rc.

       -e command
           Command to execute. The result is appended to the end of this
           command (like xargs).

       <title>
           Print this title. This is also used to identify the menu section in
           the awesome2rc file.
