A Minimal Linux Display Manager
|
||||
|
||||
There is this itch that tiling window manager users feel. Whether it is caused
|
||||
by surfing the world of reddit or the want for change, it might be useful to
|
||||
have a way to easily switch between window managers. This article shows how to
|
||||
achieve this using already installed applications on your system.
|
||||
|
||||
# A BASH on the head.
|
||||
On most *sane* Linux distributions, BASH is provided as a default shell script
|
||||
interpreter, I will be using that. When I said minimal, I meant *minimal*. With
|
||||
barely 38 lines, I know no other contestant. For a bonus, I will also use
|
||||
```sx``` & ```ssh-agent```.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
|
||||
DwmOption="DWM"
|
||||
EXWMOption="EXWM"
|
||||
MATEOption="MATE"
|
||||
EnlightenmentOption="Enlightenment"
|
||||
ConsoleOption="Console"
|
||||
menu=("$DwmOption" "$EXWMOption" "$MATEOption" "$EnlightenmentOption" "$ConsoleOption")
|
||||
|
||||
echo "Which WM would you like to run?"
|
||||
select opt in "${menu[@]}"
|
||||
do
|
||||
case $opt in
|
||||
$DwmOption)
|
||||
exec ssh-agent sx sh ~/.config/X11/dwm-xinit
|
||||
break
|
||||
;;
|
||||
$EXWMOption)
|
||||
exec ssh-agent sx sh ~/.config/X11/exwm
|
||||
break
|
||||
;;
|
||||
$MATEOption)
|
||||
exec ssh-agent sx mate-session
|
||||
break
|
||||
;;
|
||||
$EnlightenmentOption)
|
||||
exec ssh-agent sx sh ~/.config/X11/enlightenment
|
||||
break
|
||||
;;
|
||||
$ConsoleOption)
|
||||
exec zsh
|
||||
break
|
||||
;;
|
||||
*) echo "invalid option $REPLY"
|
||||
esac
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That's it! For adding extra entries:
|
||||
|
||||
- create a new 'Option' variable,
|
||||
- then add it to the ```menu``` array,
|
||||
- adding the extra option to the 'cases' clause appropriately.
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!
