# fvwm-update-menu(1)

updates fvwm's Debian menus

## NAME

fvwm-update-menu - updates fvwm's Debian menus

## SYNOPSIS

**fvwm-update-menu \[popup\|touch-stamp\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**fvwm-update-menu** can be used to update Debian menus in menu  database was changed  on the fly, without fvwm restart. In order to  use it you should put line

Mouse 1   R  A  PipeRead "fvwm-update-menu popup"

instead of

Mouse 1   R  A  Menu /Debian

in your system.fvwm2rc or ~/.fvwm/fvwm2rc.  This will slow down fvwm when opening /Debian menu if it needs  to be updated, a delay is quite small, but it is a delay.
