## I used to pipe things to be printed in stdin (like dwm) in awesome 1.x, it does not work in awesome 2.0, why?
Because we implemented a better system. You want to use awesome-client which read the following from stdin:
#screen uicb arg
So to change the statusbar text on screen 0, simply do the following:
> echo 0 setstatustext "Hello, awesome world!" | awesome-client
If you want to view another tag on screen 1:
> echo 1 tag_view 3 | awesome-client
etc.
