terminal

To start the terminal, select "scripts > tools > start kbterminal.sh." Use "direct mode" for simple tasks (this means call an executable file, with arguments if applicable), like
Code:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Use "file mode" for complexer tasks, like
Code:
x=$(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i hardware); echo "see this: $x"
You can change the font size of the output field and the history list, for instance
Code:
kbt:fsize=45
You can change the timeout (how many milliseconds the application waits for the called process to finish), for instance
Code:
kbt:timeout=20000
The default value is -1 (no timeout).
