Hello Grzegorz,

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/6.0/en/manual/appendix/command_execution
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/6.0/en/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/administration/scripts

It's not mentioned or allowed to modify the the default shell invocation.

If you need this - create script file and call this script within command execution.

Documentation can be improved, confirming to improve description.

Regards,
Edgar
