Exit JWM by sending _JWM_EXIT to the root window.

-f file

Specify an alternate configuration file to use.

-h

Display a help message and exit.

-p

Parse the configuration file and exit. It is a good idea to use this after making modifications to the configuration file to ensure there are no errors.

-restart

FILES

/etc/jwm/jwm/system.jwmrc

The default JWM configuration file.

~/.jwmrc

Default local configuration file. Copy the default configuration file to this location to make user-specific changes. See also, option -f.

CONFIGURATION

OVERVIEW

Configuration of JWM is done by editing ".jwmrc" (or the configuration file specified with the -f option). This file is XML making it easy to edit, either by hand or programmatically. The example.jwmrc gives an example configuration file. Before restarting JWM, it is a good idea to run "jwm -p" to make sure the configuration file is free of errors. Otherwise you may end up without a root menu.

Note that multiple root menus may be specified by using different buttons for different menus. The range of possible values is 0 to 9 inclusive as well as a to z inclusive, providing for up to 36 menus. Note that only the numeric values map to mouse buttons.
