I need a solution for getting the current active (focused) window information on a Gnome 2 desktop. I'm mostly interested in the process running that window and window title.Is it possible?SOLUTION:Getting window title:xwininfo -root -children | grep $(printf '%x\n' $(xdotool getwindowfocus)) | grep -oEi '[^]+' | head -1Getting process name:ps -e | grep $(xdotool getwindowpid $(xdotool getwindowfocus)) | grep -v grep | awk '{print $4}'or:cat /proc/$(xdotool getwindowpid $(xdotool getwindowfocus))/comm
Is it possible to retrieve the active window process/title in Gnome?
gnome;gui;window
You can use xdotool, a versatile X window automation tool.focused_window_id=$(xdotool getwindowfocus)active_window_id=$(xdotool getactivewindow)active_window_pid=$(xdotool getwindowpid $active_window_id)(I don't know what the difference between focused and active is.) (I thought wmctrl could do this, but apparently not.)
