SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manage and orchestrate long-running shell commands and background processes during development and deployment, simplifying lifecycle control.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bind a shell command to a persistent workflow to run servers, services, TUIs, and other background tasks.
  • Auto-restart workflows after package or module installation to keep changes active.
  • Start, stop, restart, and monitor workflows from a unified interface, with status visibility and port awareness.

Quick Start

Configure the main workflow to start and manage a long-running server with automatic restarts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage long-running shell commands and background services in development?▼

You can manage long-running shell commands by binding them to a persistent workflow, allowing you to run background services and control their lifecycle from a unified interface. This simplifies orchestration during development and deployment.

Can I auto-restart background processes after package or module installation?▼

Yes, workflows can auto-restart after package or module installation to keep changes active. This ensures persistent processes remain updated without requiring manual intervention or restarting the entire development environment.

What's the best way to control start, stop, and restart for persistent processes?▼

The best way to control persistent processes is by defining them as workflows, which provides centralized commands for start, stop, restart, and removal. You also get status visibility and port awareness across all managed services.

Does this workflow management approach work for projects on Replit?▼

Yes, this approach is designed for Replit server management. It satisfies functional requirements for defining workflows, monitoring status, and configuring operations like start, stop, restart, and removal for persistent processes on the platform.

Why do I need workflow orchestration for background tasks and TUIs?▼

You need workflow orchestration to maintain centralized control over background tasks and TUIs that would otherwise block your shell. It provides persistent process management, auto-restart capabilities, and unified status monitoring for long-running commands.

What are the limitations of managing background services through shell commands?▼

Managing background services directly through shell commands lacks centralized control, status visibility, and auto-restart logic. Defining them as workflows instead provides port awareness and unified lifecycle management for reliable server operation.
