Hi!

I would like to control my ion window manager with an external
program. There should be a server running in ion. And there should be
a command line client ion-client that can send some lua code to
execute to the window manager.

Is something like this already possible? Is this a planned feature?

I would like to implement some emacs <-> ion interaction mode based
on this client server connection.

I found out, that I can communicate with ion via the popen_bgread
function. But I must always register the popen_bgread function again
in my ion_externalhandler. Otherwise it is executed only once.

popen_bgread("python /home/xsteve/ion/echo.py",coroutine.wrap(ion_externalhandler))

Now I wonder, if there is a smarter solution for my "ion remote
control idea"


Stefan.
