FAQPage Schema

How do I manage a persistent dev server in tmux?▼

You manage a persistent dev server in tmux by automating start, stop, and status commands within a deterministic tmux session to maintain a continuous local development environment.

How do I check if port 5000 is free before starting a local development server?▼

Checking port 5000 is handled during server startup by verifying the port is free, coordinating port checks alongside tmux session management to ensure the dev server launches cleanly.

Do I need tmux to run background server automation and health checks?▼

Yes, tmux is required for this background server automation, as it uses tmux sessions and standard UNIX tools to coordinate port checks and verify server health.

How do I surface recent logs for a dev server running in a tmux session?▼

To surface recent logs for a dev server running in a tmux session, you use built-in log retrieval commands that report recent output alongside health check status for troubleshooting.

What is the best way to restart a background server on port 5000?▼

The best way to restart a background server on port 5000 is using a deterministic lifecycle command that stops the existing tmux session and starts a fresh one while verifying port availability.
