Subject: [9fans] finding acme window id from shell script?
Date: Wed,  3 Apr 2002 15:01:13 +0200	[thread overview]

Another question about programming acme from rc:
Can a shell script (or other program) find
out from which acme window it was invoked
(other than looking for a 'known' filename
 in/mnt/acme/index)?

In the manual I only found acme's ID command,
which I cannot use from within the shell script
(or is there a way?), and reading the ctl file,
but I assume that refers to e.g. /mnt/acme/<nr>/ctl
and to read that I already need to know <nr>.
Currently I just look for a 'fixed' filename in
/mnt/acme/index, which works ok; I'm just wondering
whether there is a more 'direct' way.

Thanks,
Axel.
