MrBiff:
I can open a shell with //usr//bin//open with Parameters:

//bin//zsh

IF it has no arguments.  As soon as arguments are added to Parameters, it fails:

//bin//zsh -c "echo hello"

JimH:
Try
man zsh

MrBiff:

--- Code: --- $ zsh -c "echo hello"
hello
--- End code ---

zybex:
Won't that command execute the echo and immediately exit zsh? You may see a brief window flashing and then closing immediately, or maybe not even that. Try some command that you can confirm that it did execute. Maybe zsh -i -c "echo hello world".

Also, why not run /bin/zsh directly instead of /usr/bin/open?

MrBiff:
Sorry, but none of those works.

As soon as arguments are added, nothing runs.  There is no terminal app opening.

No Terminal is opened with calling //bin//bash directly.  Adding -i to the Parameters does not help.

Terminal.app will be opened when //usr//bin//open is used and //bin//zsh or //bin//bash is the Parameters value.  Add more args, nothing happens.

Exec'ing programs on *unixy* systems is so straightforward, there has to be something not coded correctly with the argument (Parameters) processing (which is likely being handled the Windows way).
