workflows

To restart a web server on Replit, you can use this Skill to manage workflow lifecycles by listing active processes, inspecting their status, and issuing a restart command to apply code changes without manual intervention.

You can inspect background services by retrieving their current status, recent output logs, and open ports to verify that your persistent application processes are actually running and accessible.

The best way to configure a persistent background process is to bind a shell command to a named workflow, specifying parameters like output type and optional port monitoring to ensure deterministic execution.

Yes, you can run CLI and TUI applications as persistent Replit workflows by configuring named workflows with the correct shell commands, allowing them to remain running in the background until explicitly stopped.

Workflows require specific port configuration because the system supports an optional waitForPort parameter, ensuring that your web server or background service is fully initialized and listening before the workflow is considered active.

You can remove unused workflows through the workflow lifecycle management feature, which allows you to list all configured processes and delete the ones no longer needed to maintain a clean project environment.
