Hey everyone I managed to write the necessary Infrastructure

Question

Hey everyone I managed to write the necessary Infrastructure as Code via Pulumi for a light weight Prefect agent that runs as an ECS Service I was hoping to get a nice welcome message in the logs Unfortunately I get the `prefect` cli help message over and over again ECS console shows a list of `STOPPED` tasks which I m assuming are various attempts to start the service and keep it running

I think `prefect` is installed correctly because I m getting the CLI help message This makes me wonder if my supplied `command` is wrong I d want the service to run ```prefect agent start q main```
