Hello,
don't you forget to escape the double quote in your command line ?
Try this one instead :
echo "local awful = require(\"awful\") ; return awful.tag.viewnext()" |
awesome-client
I'm using " viewnext " instead of " viewonly " as it is willing to work
independently of your tag configuration.

Hello, I want to control awesome by remote, now I tried to change tag with:
echo 'awful.tag.viewnext' | awesome-client
and I got:
string "[string "awful.tag.viewnext"]:1: '=' expected near '<eof>'"
By internet I found (not useful for me but useful for learn how awesome work):
echo 'local awful = require("awful") ; return
awful.tag.viewonly(tags[2][1])' | awesome-client
and I got:
attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
others test:
echo 'return awful.tag.viewonly(tags[2][1])' | awesome-client
attempt to index global 'awful' (a nil value)
echo 'awful.tag.viewonly(tags[2][1])' | awesome-client
attempt to index global 'awful' (a nil value)
I have this:
