|Since it would appear that that is totally unnecessary in a

And another question would be why i have a need to add
pkill -CONT tmux
to my dmenu.sh, aka
command PKILL_TMUX "pkill -CONT tmux"
to my (currently unused) ~/.cwmrc.
Ie, why use that ^Z TSTP mess when there are so many race
conditions that the signal goes to the wrong program. (This is
most often from within less(1)<-bash(1)<-tmux(1)<-st(1), then;
and it is on Linux.)
