fvwm2 compat: provide FvwmCommandS symlink to Module FvwmMFL #391

Closed ThomasAdam closed 3 years ago

ThomasAdam commented 3 years ago

In fvwm2, FvwmCommandS was required to set up a comms socket between itself and fvwm2 so that FvwmCommand could send messages to fvwm2.

Under fvwm3, this changed to become a thin wrapper around talking to FvwmMFL which provides similar functionality to FvwmCommandS, and as such, in order to maintain some backwards compatibility with fvwm2, providing such a symlink would mean that the same fvwm config would work under the two versions without requiring modification.

This was suggested by @danespen (via https://fvwmforums.org/t/fvwmcommand-docs/3052)

I've merged this to master now -- let's see how we get on. Seems to work OK for me.
