As discussed on #awesome, the attached patch makes awesome-client exit with a meaningful value (i.e. that of errno) when it encounters an error. Since the most frequent error with awesome-client is a mismatch in the socket path, there is an explicit case for ENOENT errors. I thought of adding a matching fprintf in awesome.c, but you can tell what socket awesome is listening on by looking at what ~/.awesome_ctl.* file you have. CAVEAT: Exiting on error may break setups such as: while true; do echo "some text" done | /path/to/awesome-client which relied on awesome-client continuing to send to the given socket (although failing) until EOF was encountered on stdin. |

=======
awesome is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
It's based on dwm.
Requirements
------------
In order to build awesome you need the Xlib header files, libconfuse and cairo.
Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (awesome is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install awesome (if
necessary as root):
make install
Running awesome
-----------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
or to .xsession to start awesome using gdm/kdm/xdm...:
exec awesome
In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome
(This will start awesome on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
Configuration
-------------
The configuration of awesome is done by creating a ~/.awesomerc file.
An example is provided in the sources.
