How to get the workspace number from the command line?

Rate this Message:
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to get the workspace name from the command line. This would be useful when I send an email when a program finish in a terminal. Based on the workspace name, I can find out the terminal more easily. Regards, Peng ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

This prints the workspace number: wmctrl -d | awk '$2 == "*" { print $1 }' If you need the workspace name, try this little script: ============================================================ #!/bin/bash no=$(wmctrl -d | awk '$2 == "*" { print $1 }') line=$(grep '^WorkspaceNames=' ~/.icewm/preferences) IFS=, names=($line) name=${names[no]} name=${name#?} echo ${name%?} ============================================================ Regards, Bernd -- Bernd Eggink http://sudrala.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Peng Yu,
Please try google or use your favorite search engine before posting to the mailing list. A simple search of "wmctrl" would have gotten you exactly what you needed. You have had multiple postings where a quick search would have yielded you exactly what you needed. The unspoken law of mailing list etiquette is to search before posting. Please understand I'm just trying to educate and not "flame" you.

I didn't know that I should use the first one. I thought the entry "X11::WMCtrl Download - Softpedia" is relevant. I finally figured out that it is not working. Thank you for your reply!

Under Edit->Current Profile->Title and Command->Run a custom command instead of my shell I have 'ssh hostname' for "Custom command". Under this setting, wmctrl does not work.

Exactly how do you expect someone to give you a workaround for something that "does not work"? When you visit your doctor, do you just sit there and wait for his diagnosis or do you tell him what the symptoms are? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
