\fBfbrun\fR [\fIoptions\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fBfbrun(1)\fR is basically equivalent to the \(lqRun\&...\(rq dialog in other desktop environments\&. This means that it is an easy way to start a program that isn\'t contained in the menu (or needs a special set of parameters for this particular invocation)\&.
.sp
Pressing \(lqEnter\(rq will close the window and execute the command in your present \fB$SHELL\fR\&. Pressing \(lqEsc\(rq will close the window and does not execute anything\&.
.sp
Another way fbrun can be useful is to be called from the menu with a preloaded command line that you can edit and then execute\&. An example might be sshing to a very long host name with lots of options of which one changes all the time\&. In this case, you could add an entry for fbrun to your menu that contains all the options and the host name\&. When you use said entry, you could edit the line as necessary and execute it\&.
