NAME

6       fbrun - display run dialog window
7

SYNOPSIS

9       fbrun [options]...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       fbrun  is  basically equivalent to the "Run..." dialog in other desktop
13       environments. This means that it is an easy way to start a program that
14       isn't  contained  in the menu (or needs a special set of parameters for
15       this particular invocation).
16
17       Another way fbrun can be useful is to be called from the  menu  with  a
18       preloaded  command  line that you can edit and then execute. An example
19       might be sshing to a very long host name with lots of options of  which
20       one  changes  all  the  time.  In this case, you could add an entry for
21       fbrun to your menu that contains all the options  and  the  host  name.
22       When  you use said entry, you could edit the line as necessary and exe‐
23       cute it.
