    # the command that will be executed
    command = "bash"

    # list of fields that values will be used as command args
    # if field is []any, plugin adds each entry to args list
    # if field is map[string]any, plugin adds each key
    # and it's value to args list
    # otherwise, field will be used as is
    args = ["."]

    # a "env name <- label" map
    # each configured will be added to the environment 
    # of the process in the "env_name=label_value" form
