Description

Provides a simple interface for running a ~/.xmonad/hooks script with the name of a hook.

Synopsis

- execScriptHook :: MonadIO m => String -> m ()

# Usage

This module allows you to run a centrally located script with the text name of a hook. The script is assumed to be located at `~/.xmonad/hooks`.

For example, if you wanted to run the hook "startup" in your script every time your startup hook ran, you could modify your xmonad config as such:

    main = xmonad $ def {
      ...
      startupHook = execScriptHook "startup"
      ...
      }

Now, every time the startup hook runs, the command `~/.xmonad/hooks startup` will also.
