SSH Windows With Running Services

Option 1: Just open another SSH window (easiest)

The service runs in the background, so you can just open another terminal/SSH session and keep working.

Option 2: Exit the status view

You’re currently in the systemctl status view. Just press q to quit and get back to your command prompt.

Option 3: Run service commands without the pager

# Add --no-pager to avoid the interactive viewsudo systemctl status recipes.service --no-pager

Option 4: Background processes (for other tasks)

If you ever need to run something in the background manually:

# Run a command in background./some-script.sh &# Or use screen/tmux for persistent sessionsscreen -S myapp# (run your command)# Press Ctrl+A then D to detach# Reconnect with: screen -r myapp

For now, just press q to exit the status view! The service is already running in the background – you don’t need to keep that window open. 👍

The warning about “unit file changed on disk” just means you should run:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Once upon a time. . .
