Hey everyone I m having some issues with a local agent in linux AWS EC2 I ve started it using `prefect agent start q queue name amp ` observe the amp indicator to run it in background but once I close my remote terminal the agent is killed If I keep my terminal open the agent don t die Is it a current bug am I doing something wrong or is it the normal behavior Thanks

Hello Esdras This is normal behavior for linux This occurs because the user you used to create the process still owns it and upon disconnection the OS will kill the backgrounded process There is two ways to resolve this depending on if you need access to the process later a no access needed Type disown after backgrounding the task b access needed Use screen tmux

are you trying to run this in the foreground or as a daemon service If you want to run it as a daemon you can configure it as a service in systemd
