# devbox global run

> Starts a new shell and runs your script or command in it, exiting when done.

The script must be defined in `devbox.json`, or else it will be interpreted as an arbitrary command.
You can pass arguments to your script or command. Everything after `--` will be passed verbatim into
your command (see example)

```bash theme={null}
devbox global run <pkg>... [flags]
```

## Examples[​](#examples "Direct link to Examples")

Run a command directly:

```bash theme={null}
devbox add cowsay
devbox global run cowsay hello
devbox global run -- cowsay -d hello
```

Run a script (defined as `"moo": "cowsay moo"`) in your devbox.json:

```bash theme={null}
devbox global run moo
```
