Specifying the Window Support for the Action

Use the WINDOW_TYPE field to specify the type of windowing support required by the action as shown in Table 12–2.

Table 12–2 WINDOW_TYPE Field and Windowing Support Provided


`WINDOW_TYPE`	Windowing Support Provided
`NO_STDIO`	None. Use `NO_STDIO` if the application has its own window, or if the command has no visible output.
`PERM_TERMINAL`	Permanent terminal emulator window. The action opens a terminal window that remains open until the user explicitly closes it. The user can enter data into the window. Use with commands that take some input, produce some output, then terminate (for example, `ls` `directory`).
`TERMINAL`	Temporary terminal emulator window. The action opens a terminal window that closes as soon as the command is completed. Use with full-screen commands (for example, `vi`).
