[Fluxbox-users] mengen

[Sharon Kimble]

I've written this script that will generate the fluxbox menu for you
which includes your usermenu automatically, but it does have a
requirement of 'menumaker-0.99.7.tar.gz', which is in the /programmes
directory of my git repo. Here it is -

#!/bin/bash
#: Title : mengen
#: Date : November 2013
#: Author : Sharon Kimble
#: Version : 1.0
#: Description : to generate fluxbox menu plus
your usermenu too
#: Options : none
#: Requirements : menumaker-0.99.7.tar.gz, in
the /programmes directory
#: License : GNU GPL 3.0 or later

mv ~/.fluxbox/menu{,-$(date +%Y%m%d-%R)}; mmaker fluxbox -f; perl -0777
-pi -e 's/(.*)\[end]/$1/s;s/(.*)\[end]/$1/s;s/^\s*\n//gm'
~/.fluxbox/menu; printf '\t[end]\n\t[separator]\n\t[submenu] (My
Menu)\n\t[include] (~/.fluxbox/usermenu)\n\t[end]\n\t[end]'

~/.fluxbox/menu

As you can see it saves a backup dated copy of your current fluxbox
menu, which you can delete if you don’t want to keep it.

I hope its useful for you? Any ideas for enhancement gratefully
accepted.

Thanks
Sharon.
