--version

--new-window

started.

--tab Open a new tab in the most-recently-used window of an existing Ptyxis instance. If Ptyxis is not
running, a new instance is started.

-x, --execute
Execute a custom command.
This is similar to using -- to provide the custom command except that the entire command line
should be provided as a single argument.
In general, you should use -- instead of this option. This is primarily available to be similar to
bash-c'command'
May be combined with --working-directory and --title options.

Set the current working directory for a new tab, window, or custom command.
--title=TITLE
Sets the title for a new terminal page created with either --tab or --new-window.

UUID string which can be found in the profile editor of the preferences dialog.
