Pipe menus are generated at run time (on-the-fly) based on output of scripts. These are also called "dynamic menus". A number of scripts used to generate dynamic menus written by various people are available here. Please note these scripts have not been reviewed.

See the menu documentation for how to use pipe menus in your Openbox menus.
