It wasn't obvious to me that [shell-command] needs to be quoted if you
want to pass parameters to the shell command.
I kept getting errors for 'ls -al' for some time.
I spent a fair bit of time reading the docs before trying the
"obvious" method. Can this section be modified with the sentence I
added, if there are no side effects?
run-shell [-b] [-d delay] [-t target-pane] [shell-command] (alias:
run) Execute shell-command in the background
without creating a window. Before being executed,
shell-command is expanded using the rules speci-
fied in the FORMATS section. With -b, the command
is run in the background. -d waits for delay
seconds before starting the command. After the
command finishes, any output to stdout is displayed
in view mode (in the pane specified by -t or the
current pane if omitted). If the command doesn't
return success, the exit status is also displayed.
--> Quote the command and parameters in single or
double quotes if it takes parameters.
