You can view background process logs with per-process isolation and controlled size limits. The tool provides options to tail or follow logs directly from the command line, ensuring clean output for automation.

Enforcing timeouts and safe termination for background CLI processes is built into the tool's core logic. It validates commands, enforces timeout limits, and ensures safe cleanup of processes and their descendants upon exit.

Yes, bgproc operates without external dependencies. It relies on a local registry in your home folder to persist state and uses standard system utilities like lsof for port detection, requiring no additional packages.
