-interactive: Executes the process in a new window item.
The command to execute; if no output parameter is given, the active window
will be used and if no parameters are given at all, the list of active
processes will be displayed.
%9Description:%9
Executes the specified command in the background; the process can be
accessed by its id or the name you gave it.
The output of the process can be redirected to various targets, such as
a window, a channel, a nickname or a query.
The process identifier must always begin with the "%%" character. For
example %%0.
If you remove a process with the close parameter, it will only make Irssi
detach from it; the process will keep running until it terminates.
