dwmfifo

Description

This patch adds support for using a command/control FIFO for dwm. I've added commands that map 1-1 with the existing keybind actions. You can use this patch to script dwm. As an example the following sequence of commands starts 2 terminals on each of the 2 monitors.

echo term > /tmp/dwm.fifo
sleep 0.5
echo term > /tmp/dwm.fifo
sleep 0.5
echo focusmon+ > /tmp/dwm.fifo
sleep 0.5
echo term > /tmp/dwm.fifo
sleep 0.5
echo term > /tmp/dwm.fifo

The sleep in between is currently needed to avoid buffering up more than a single command. You may experiment with the actual sleep value.

Similarly you can modify your config.h and add more commands that you may want to execute (like tabbed-surf or similar).
