Gentoo does that too. If your distro doesn't have it, you could make it
yourself, it's not much:
#!/bin/sh
exe=`dmenu_path | dmenu ${1+"$@"}` && exec $exe

Hi,
I would like to use dmenu to start my programs.
It works like this from the terminal:
exec `dmenu_path | dmenu -i -nb "#000000" -fn "-*-times-*-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" -sb "#00ff00" -sf "#af0000" -nf "#ff0000" -p "Execute:" -b`
So I do:
awful.util.spawn('exec `dmenu_path | dmenu -i -nb "#000000" -fn "-*-times-*-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" -sb "#00ff00" -sf "#af0000" -nf "#ff0000" -p "Execute:" -b`')
It shows the dmenu, but does not execute the command (as the command
does from the terminal).
Ideas?
Thanks!
Nathan
Don't know if this is distro-specific but archlinux installs a script
named 'dmenu_run' which does what you want and accept the same option
that dmenu does.
So you're command will be :
awful.util.spawn('dmenu_run -i -nb "#000000" -fn "-*-times-*-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" -sb "#00ff00" -sf "#af0000" -nf "#ff0000" -p "Execute:" -b')
