Prefect Community

Hello Community

I'm new to Prefect and I need your help on some newbie matters :pensive:

I have a local server with Prefect 0.13 running on it. Everything is running smoothly so far, the only issue I'm facing is the local agent launch. It's bounded to the shell window and I can not launch it background (I've tried some methods like adding &amp; or &amp;&gt;dev/null ..) but nothing seems to be working.

Do you have any idea or param I can use to ensure the agent will stay up &amp; running after I close the shell window ?

Thanks a lot community :+1:

if you `disown` the process before you close your shell it should stay alive

eg something like
```disown "%prefect"```

Thanks Philip. I'll try this and tell you if it works. Thanks a lot :+1::+1:
