externalpipe-signal

Description

Run an externalpipe command upon receiving the SIGUSR1 signal. This is helpful for supporting externalpipe scripts which work across multiple st instances. With the example script you can access a dmenu populated with strings from all open st instances.

Apply this patch on top of st externalpipe.

Example

Add the example script to your $PATH:

Add to your config.h: 

    char *externalpipe_sigusr1[] = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "externalpipe_buffer.sh st_strings_read"};

Add to your WM as a hotkey: 

    externalpipe_buffer.sh dmenu_type
