If left blank the following platform-specific behavior will be used: Command Line will use the .bat file interpreter on Windows and the .com file interpreter on VMS. On other systems it will use the shell specified by the air/shell agent variable if present. UNIX/Linux systems may override this by having the command line start with a #! sequence. |

| Output File | Only select this value if running as a daemon. Enter the path of the file to which the command output is directed. Leave blank to discard the output. The output will not be captured if an output file is not specified. |
