Options (Command Cue)#

Command Cue options

  • Command: the command line to be executed (as in a shell)

  • Discard command output: when enabled the command output is discarded

  • Ignore command errors: when enabled errors are not reported

  • Kill instead of terminate: when enabled, on stop, the command is killed (abruptly interrupted by the OS)

  • Run the command on the host system (Available only for flatpak installations.): When disabled the command will be run inside the sandbox, this will prevent access to any application installed on your “host” system
