The command to launch can be anything that is also executable from a shell or command prompt. One example is starting a shell window for entering such commands.
On Windows, this could be cmd.exe
which is in the %PATH%
.
On Linux, it could be xterm
if on the $PATH
,
or better /usr/bin/X11/xterm
or a similar complete path.
On Mac OS X, one could use /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
.
Beware: Both the Launch configuration file names and the Mac OS application directories
use an extension *.app
. In your CSS workspace you can create a file
Terminal.app
that contains the launch configuration for the Mac OS X
terminal window application /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
.
Running that launcher in CSS will then start the Mac OS X terminal application.
If you want to launch a program that requires additional command-line arguments, you can create a batch file or shell script to invoke the program as desired and then use that batch file or shell script as the launcher command.
On Windows or Mac OS X the command can also be the path to
a file where the operating system knows how to handle that file.
For example, if double-clicking on a *.doc
file will open MS Word on your computer, you can use the full path
to such *.doc
files as launcher commands.
When activating such a command, the operating system will open
MS Word with the document.
