Use the Zuar Runner Command Line plugin to create command line jobs.

Typical use cases for command line jobs include running bash scripts, Python,
R, etc.

- **Title** - Title of the job.
- **Command** - Any valid command line command.
- **Use shell?**- Whether to use the shell for execution or not.
- **Use 'exec'?**- Whether to prefix given command with 'exec'. The command
  will run as exec under bash so that the bash process will be replaced with
  the shell_cmd process.
- **Timeout**- Command timeout in seconds.
- **Environment Variables** - Environment variables of the command.

### Environment Variables

Any environment variables needed to run the command can be added as key/value
pairs.

The Zuar Runner command line job is run by the `mitto` user with an empty
environment, so some commands will require setting environment variables.

## Example Command Line Jobs

See the Zuar Runner [Bash](bash-command-line) and Zuar Runner
[Python](python) documentation for more examples of Zuar Runner
command line jobs!
