Awesome menu system
Usage
awesome-menu [-c

[-e
command]
<title>
Overview
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 -

-
-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 awesomerc file.
