Run long-running background processes without blocking conversations. It starts, monitors, and stops tasks and returns a job_id you can poll for output.
Start a background process with a shell command and monitor its status using the returned job_id.

To run shell commands without blocking the conversation, you can start a background process that executes asynchronously and returns a job_id immediately for polling output. This enables continuous collaboration while dev servers, file watchers, or builds run in the background.
To monitor and stop a background process, you poll its status and output using the returned job_id, and issue a stop command that safely terminates the job via SIGTERM and SIGKILL signals. This ensures safe lifecycle management for your asynchronous tasks.
Asynchronous background jobs have a maximum lifetime of 10 minutes and maintain a 500-line output buffer. Background jobs are scoped per-conversation, meaning they do not persist beyond the current session and are safely terminated when limits are reached.
Yes, background process management applies directly to running dev servers, file watchers, and builds within a single chat. You can start these long-running tasks asynchronously, monitor their output via polling, and stop them safely without blocking your workflow.
Asynchronous job management handles safe process termination by issuing SIGTERM followed by SIGKILL signals to stop background jobs. This ensures that long-running shell commands and dev servers are cleanly terminated when the 10-minute lifetime limit is exceeded or a manual stop is requested.
