Hi,
is there a function in xfce4-clipman to share the clipboard with other devices (all ubuntu with xfce) in the same home network?
If not: I use ssh with key files to simply connect to that machines. I think it's possible to "send" the value of my local clipboard to all other machines using ssh and xsel. But i need a mechanism to start the script when the clipboard is changed similar to "inotifywait". Is there a file where xfce4-clipman stores the clipboard's value in?

EDIT
All the programs i found are not designed to share clipboard between devices in home network but between host and guest (virtual machine) or when using xephyr.

Greetings to you, Friedrich:
Some time ago, I was looking into a similar functionality (sending/receiving files and such between laptops and android phones on my home network). I learned about "CopyQ", a FOSS clipbord manager that apparently has (according to its documentation) a quite elaberate scripting facility biult-in, see https://hluk.github.io/CopyQ/ ... For my purposes, Linux Mint's "warpnator" app worked just fine. But your needs are well beyong that app's functions. Perhaps CopyQ does what you're looking for?

I found an Feature Request from 2019 - CopyQ doesn't has this Feature. The only way is to "send" the content of the "server" clipboard to the "client" clipboard using ssh. For that i need to run a script every time the "server" clipboard is changed and then run the script. But i don't know whether this is possible.
The other way is to run a script with an infinity loop that writes the content of the clipboard to a variable with a pause of lets say 1 sec and compare both. When it's different something has changed and ssh sends the content to the "client". But i guess running a script with a loop in autostart isn't a good idea.
