xmenu
Xmenu is a menu utility for X.
Xmenu receives a menu specification in stdin, shows a menu for the user
to select one of the options, and outputs the option selected to stdout.
§ Installation
In order to build xmenu you need the Xlib header files.
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (xmenu is installed into the
/usr/local prefix by default). Then enter the following command to
build and install xmenu (if necessary as root).
make clean install
§ Running xmenu
xmenu receives as input a menu specification where each line is a menu
entry. Each line can be indented with tabs to represent nested menus.
Each line is made out of a label and a command separated by any number
of tabs. Lines without labels are menu separators.
See the script ./xmenu.sh for an example of how xmenu can be used to
draw a simple menu with submenus and separators.
Read the manual for more information on running xmenu.
