Yes, it should not be forgotten.

I think it should be replaced with a new command line utility fvwm-exec.
I would like to find a way to do it without FvwmCommandS similarly to how
fvwm-root tells fvwm it changed a root image. I may check whether it is
possible to communicate using X dirrectly and, if yes, will do it later.

fvwm-commands is a good name too since it will read multiple commands
either from a file (-f file) or stdin (unless -c "cmd" option is given).
Which name do you prefer: fvwm-commands, fvwm-command, fvwm-cmd,
fvwm-send, fvwm-exec? I prefer fvwm-exec or fvwm-commands.

Later we may add an fvwm command RemoteCommands on|off|restricted.
The default may be "restricted" that disables Exec, PipeRead and modules
with "/" in the path. But on the other hand it may be confusing that Read
is allowed and PipeRead is not, so other default would be ok for me too.

If the default is "on" then, in addition to removing FvwmCommand/,
FvwmConsole may be removed as well (it is just "xterm -name FvwmConsole
-e fvwm-exec").

Mikhael.
