cinnamon-launcher

cinnamon-launcher is an internal utility for the Cinnamon desktop environment that facilitates starting or restarting Cinnamon sessions and launching applications.
The command processes .desktop files and handles application launching for the Cinnamon Shell, managing environment variables, working directories, and ensuring applications start correctly within the graphical session.
It is deeply integrated with Cinnamon components including the application menu, panel launchers, and the Nemo file manager, providing a consistent interface for starting processes across the desktop environment.

This utility is primarily for internal use by the Cinnamon desktop environment and is not typically invoked directly by users from the command line.
