Hi, I was recently asked whether it would be possible to add a command interface to dvtm which would allow external scripts to control dvtm. One usecase which was given are shell aliases which could be defined so that certain apps would automatically run in a new window (man was mentioned as an example which would open all the manual pages in a new window by sending an appropirate command to dvtm). Another possible usecase are monitoring scripts running in a minimized window which would bring themself to focus when something interesting happened.
I like it! Another use case: a program (e.g., an RSS feed reader) running in one window could open a textmode browser in another, in order to display the page at a specified URL. An even more general use case: a user could enter a shell command in one window to open a new window running any arbitrary program. (I've often wished Mod-c took an argument, so I could run something besides a shell in the new window.)
