Copy text to clipboard from shell script
Hi
how can i copy text to the xfce-clipboard that was created with a shell script? I know there are tools like xclip but they need there own command to paste it somewhere. To use the text in the system the best way would be to copy it to the xfce-clipboard (xfce4-clipman).

Re: Copy text to clipboard from shell script
Pipe your shell script output to xclip and specify the clipboard as the destination. Example:
echo "test" | xclip -selection clipboardPlease remember to mark your thread [SOLVED] to make it easier for others to find
