Tool to run any bash command in background
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Feb 10, 2026 by marabian Closed Mar 20, 2026
What variant of Codex are you using?
CLI
What feature would you like to see?
Please add the feature to run arbitrary bash commands in background and a slash command to view all running background jobs/cancel them if needed. This is the ONLY thing that is keeping me from switching from Claude Code. I tried using Codex around 4-5 months ago and went back to Claude Code since CC supports this feature and its really useful for running dev servers. I recently tried Codex expecting this feature to be added but it doesn't support it. Please let me know if you need any further clarifications.
Thanks
