kernel-process-execution
Process Execution
Run arbitrary commands inside the browser VM for advanced control.
When to Use
Use process execution for:
- Custom tooling - Install specialized tools in the VM (ffmpeg, imagemagick, etc.)
- Background services - Run auxiliary services alongside your browser
- Data processing - Execute scripts for data transformation
- System configuration - Configure the VM environment to your needs
- Debugging - Inspect VM state and processes
- Package installation - Install system packages with apt-get or other package managers
Info: The
<session_id>argument refers to the browser session ID, not invocation IDs returned by other Kernel commands.
Prerequisites
Load the kernel-cli skill for Kernel CLI installation and authentication.
