dmenu_run2

#!/usr/bin/env sh

# This script extends the functionality of dmenu_run by allowing the user to
# include custom commands and executables. The custom commands are read from a
# file specified by the environment variable DMENU_RUN_COMMANDS, and the
# executables are read from a directory specified by the environment variable
# DMENU_RUN_BIN.
#
# Environment Variables:
#   DMENU_RUN_COMMANDS: Path to a file containing custom commands to be included
#                       in the dmenu. The file should contain one command per line.
#
#   DMENU_RUN_BIN: Path to a directory containing executables.
#                  The executables should echo the commands to be included in
#                  the dmenu.
#
# Usage:
#   Set the environment variables DMENU_RUN_COMMANDS and DMENU_RUN_BIN to point
#   to your custom commands file and executables directory, respectively. Then,
#   run the script. The script will add the custom commands and executables to
#   the dmenu.
#
#   Example:
#     DMENU_RUN_COMMANDS=/path/to/commands.txt DMENU_RUN_BIN=/path/to/bin \
#     ./dmenu_run2
#
# Note:
#   The script assumes that all files in the DMENU_RUN_BIN directory are
#   executable and that they will echo the correct commands. Ensure that these
#   conditions are met to avoid unexpected behavior.
#
#   The script runs in the background, and the selected command from the dmenu
#   is executed in a subshell.
