How do I go about sending commands to fluxbox from bash? Is that even possible?

As in I want to tell fluxbox to change workspaces using the "Workspace" command.

You have the Init function on you

Okay, yes, I'm aware of init, but I'm trying to write a script that will automatically switch my desktop periodically. And I don't know how to send commands to fluxbox to do so from bash.

So if you dunno to make a script how do you wanna get it done ??
If i was you i would do one simple and would put it on my .xinitrc

I don't know how to send commands to fluxbox from bash. I know how to write scripts.

How about setting up .fluxbox/keys and then writing a cron or script that executes Alt+F# keys after such minutes?

Aha! wmcontrol!

I've stumbled across that before...but it didn't register for some reason. I think that'll be perfect. Thanks!
