> Now, would it give less overhead if I use only awful.util.spawn? There might be some overhead with spawn_with_shell() related to the fact that it executes a shell ($SHELL or /bin/sh) to run the command but in most cases it's probably negligible. This used to be default behavior of awful.util.spawn(). > And what can one use it for, now? I guess for spawning any executables directly using glib's spawn(). If you don't need shell syntax in the command string you should probably use this.
