Exit fluxbox session from command line

Fluxbox menu can be called from command line/wbar button/run dialog:

First, one must enable fluxbox remote commands; in your fluxbox init file, ~/.fluxbox/init (by default) find the line:

session.screen0.allowRemoteActions:    false

and change it to true:

session.screen0.allowRemoteActions:    true

Display available fluxbox commands. Many of these commands are ment to deal with focussed windows, and can only be used from the window-menu, but the list also has some items useful for fluxbox-remote.

$ fluxbox --list-commands
activate
activatetab
addworkspace
...
workspace
workspacemenu
