This feels like an FAQ, but I couldn't find anything there nor in
the manpage. Maybe I'm not searching for the right keywords :)
How would I set up a menu item to:
pop up a window
prompt for and read a password
close the window
launch a program and feed the password into its stdin
Specifically, I now have something along the lines of:
AddToMenu VNCwindows "VNC" TITLE
+ "sys1" Exec echo pw1 | vncviewer sys1 &
+ "sys2" Exec echo pw2 | vncviewer sys2 &
which works fine as long as the passwords don't change. However,
there's one system whose VNC password changes depending on whether
anyone is logged in. Rather than have separate entries for connecting
to it depending on whether it's idle or I am already logged into it,
I'd prefer to have a single entry which propmts for the password.
