Background Process
Enables AI agents to start, stop, and monitor long-running command-line processes.
About
This tool extends the capabilities of various AI agents, such as Google's Gemini CLI, by providing a standardized way to manage background command-line processes. While some advanced agents can handle such tasks natively, this project offers a separate service that makes long-running task management accessible to a broader range of AI models. It features a robust core service for process lifecycle management, an MCP client for LLM integration, and a terminal user interface (TUI) for manual monitoring and control.
Key Features
- Start and stop background command-line processes
- Monitor process output (head/tail)
- List all managed processes and their states
- Clear stopped processes
- Access server status information
- 1 GitHub stars
Use Cases
- Empowering AI agents to execute and manage long-running scripts or applications
- Integrating background task management into LLM-driven development workflows
- Programmatically monitoring the execution of shell commands by AI systems
