<tool alias> <command>. The location of the Input pane (field or popup) depends on the Show console in setting on the Command Line Tool Support page.The Output tab shows the results of executing commands. The tab is named after the last invoked command.
The Tool definition file errors tab is hidden by default. The tab is accessible only if any structure discrepancies are detected in the .xml descriptor during validation. See How do I keep a tool descriptor consistent? for details.
