[bash] script to find all windows of a program and do somthn with them

Mr. Alex · 02-09-2012, 05:57 AM

To position a "chromium" window I use this line:

Code:

wmctrl -r chromium -e '0,130,0,-1,-1'

But if I have more then one chromium window - this will only work for one. How does "position all chromuim windows" script look like?

Do you see all the chromium windows with:

Code:

wmctrl -l

If yes, maybe a loop like this would work

Code:

for id in $(wmctrl -l | awk '/chromium/ {print $1}'); do
  wmctrl -i -r "$id" -e '0,130,0,-1,-1'
done

It uses the windows id (first column of wmctrl -l output) to identify window
