You can use the FvwmCommand module. Just start the server in
fvwm's config file:

  AddToFunc InitFunction Module FvwmCommandS

After that you can call FvwmCommand from the command line to
execute any fvwm commands:

  # FvwmCommand "GotoPage 2 3"

(The quotes are necessary, otherwise the '2' and '3' will be interpreted
as separate commands).
