Run Dirac CLI in the background #93

Closed binarykitchen closed 4 years ago

binarykitchen commented 4 years ago

Would be good if the dirac command would open Canary in the background and then just exists.

Like that I don't have to keep the terminal open. Thanks.

You can launch the tool without launching Chrome at the end and launch it separately by hand, try dirac launch --dry-chromium

But this won't help you to remove the need for a terminal session. The script launches nREPL server, Dirac Agent and maybe other tools which need to run. And these tools could spit some output/errors so it is recommended to have their output somewhere in a Terminal session.

You can try to run dirac command in background via dirac &

But that does not help you in closing the terminal window neither. It just helps you to do something else there and later bring the background process back to foreground.

Personally I would recommend you to look into tmux or something similar. You can then do: tmux new-session dirac

This will allow you to detach from the tmux terminal session (CTRL+B, D) and maybe attach to it later e.g. via tmux attach.
