The problem was with the whitespace on either side of the '=', I'm still not
sure if this command is
I have got it to work, not sure why though...
the event handler code seemed to be pausing on the line:
line = "$(echo $line | sed 's/^[^ ]* //' | tr -d '\n')"
Simply commenting it out fixed the problem, what is this lines purpose?
And should it be fixed in the User Guide?

Still the same behaviour
I think it is something to do with splitting the event line up into parts...
I put an echo at the start of the while loop that reads each event line:

With this code the menu is not displayed at all and I get a message...
wmiir: fatal: setsid: can't exec: No such file or directory
If I add "eval exec" to the line it works after two presses

Thanks for the quick reply, but I still can't seem to get it to work
When I do the changes as you say, and after pressing Mod4-p twice it just
lists proglist_cache.
So I add the '$' sign
eval exec wmiir setsid "$(echo $proglist_cache | wimenu -s 0)" &
And it still requires Mod4-p to be pressed
ite /tag/sel/ctl select left

# Run program

eval exec wmiir setsid "$(proglist $PATH | wimenu -s 0)" &
