I think [ "$foo" ] will work too. No need for -n. But yeah. Bashisms did lot of 
brain damage

[ -n "$foo" ]

if you're going for POSIX.

I do something similar:

TMPFILE=/tmp/dwm-lastwindow
xdotool getwindowfocus > $TMPFILE
foo=$(xdotool search --class st)
if [[ $foo != "" ]]; then
xdotool windowactivate $foo
else
st -e tmux-start &
fi

Thanks for this, Bastien. Is using xdotool's search option slower or otherwise
worse than this?  (btw, i'm not sure I know what lsw is)

xdotool seems to work: "xdotool search "mutt" windowactivate | urxvt -e mutt"

No, this is not equivalent because the following command:

wmctrl -xa mutt

activates the first client matching the given 'title'.

You could rather do:

#! /bin/sh

wid=$(lsw -l | grep -m 1 "$@" | cut -d ' ' -f 1)

if [ -n "$wid" ]; then
xdotool windowactivate "$wid"
else
case "$@" in
mutt)
urxvt -title mutt -e mutt;;
MOC)
urxvt -e mocp;;
*)
echo "don't know how to raise '$@'" >&2
exit 1;;

Thanks, Patrick, this does half of what I want: it launches mutt only if there
is no previous mutt window. I need now to figure out how to give focus to the 
existing
mutt window.

Thanks for the pointer.
