NAME

awesome-menu - awesome menu system

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

awesome-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, awesome-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 | awesome-menu -e ´exec ´ ´Execute´

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

ls /usr/bin | awesome-menu -e ´xterm -e exec ´ ´Execute in terminal´

To build an ssh connection prompt:

cut -d´ ´ -f1 ~/.ssh/known_hosts | cut -d, -f1 | awesome-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 "$(awesome-menu ´"File to gzip´)"

OPTIONS

-c config

Use an alternate configuration file instead of $HOME/.awesomerc.

-e command

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