NAME
getmemwindow — extracts window ids of user processes from /etc/services.window
DESCRIPTION
getmemwindow
is the command used to extract window ids of
user processes from the
/etc/services.window
file. User applications are encouraged to place a unique
string defining an application and its associated window id in the
/etc/services.window
file and then extract
that window id using the
getmemwindow
command.
This allows for changing the application window id in one central
location, rather than changing scripts with hard-coded values, in the
event of a memory window collision between two applications.
EXAMPLES
# Extract the window id for "HP" from the /etc/services.window file
# and start the program "HP_startup_script" with arguments arg1 and
# arg2.
#
WinId=$(getmemwindow HP)
setmemwindow -i $WinId HP_startup_script arg1 arg2
