DESCRIPTION

9       abrt  is  a  daemon  that watches for application crashes. When a crash
10       occurs, it collects the crash data and takes action  according  to  its
11       configuration. This manual page describes the RunApp plugin for abrt.
12
13       This  plugin  is  used  to  run  a specified application when the crash
14       occurs.
15

INVOCATION

17       The plugin is invoked in the abrt.conf configuration file.   The  first
18       parameter  is the command to run. The second, optional parameter speci‐
19       fies an output file, to which the standard output  of  the  program  is
20       saved.
