Hello!
So I wanna use the communication protocol provided by FvwmScript and perl to create an hdipstick widget using an external script “light -G” so instead of the classic getoutput which needs to print every second i want to simply communicate the perl (could be bash i dont care) value right into the fvwmscript without having to run it every second and only change the value when I actually change the brightness.
Look at the FvwmScript manual page under SendToModule, that is really the only want to send info to a module. You could use this to trigger updating a widget.
I did but i just couldn’t figure it out, If somebody already used it i hope they could help me out! I just need one example with the brightness thingy if possible, I can’t do it on my own;
I would just be following the example in the manual page. I would start simple and test things out until you get something working.
