Command to Run a Linked System Executable Program

To run a linked system executable program, enter the following command:

program-name [parameters]

where:

program-name
The name of a system executable file. If the program-name does not contain an explicit path then the directories specified by the PATH (Windows) or $PATH (UNIX) environment variable are searched. Alternatively, to run the program from its current directory, use the ./program-name syntax.
parameters
Parameters that are required by the program. Each parameter is a string, separated from adjoining parameters by one or more spaces. There must be at least one parameter (applies to UNIX environments only).
