ModelSim Starter Edition -> how to launch from Linux command line?

Are you sure that the file has an "*.exe" extension under Linux?

I searched the installation directory for the *modelsim* keyword... Here is a list of the files:

So, which file to run? Which one should I define in the 'Tools' -> 'Options' -> 'EDA Tool Options' category? How should look like the whole command?

Thank you!
