Maya runTimeCommand

If you create a runTimeCommand at startup, set default to true. So it won’t save the command.

import maya.cmds as cmds

cmds.runTimeCommand(
        'myUniqueName',
        label="hello",
        annotation='This is my command',
        category='Menu items.Common.Windows.Settings/Preferences',
        command='print("Hello World")',
        default=True
)

cmds.menuItem(p="mainFileMenu", rtc='myUniqueName')

TODO figure out how category works
