Hello Rüdiger,

Thank you for the bug report and pointing out this behavior. It is a
bit strange - it appears that the upstream author pruned the support for
the command configuration option, but left the empty "" in place.

It's a simple patch to restore the functionality. I'll look at
restoring it to the manpage as well.

Cheers,
tony
