Feature request: Claude Code-like /monitoring for background terminals
Open 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 14, 2026 by wolverin0
Summary
Request a Claude Code-like /monitoring workflow for background terminals in Codex.
This includes:
- a dedicated monitored view for running background terminals
- readiness / warning / error pattern detection surfaced in the TUI
- a targeted stop action for a single background terminal by
process_id - a slash-command UX similar to Claude Code-style monitoring flows
Proposed UX
/monitorsto show monitored background terminals/monitor-stop <process_id>to stop one monitored terminal- inline TUI notifications when a monitored terminal emits ready / warning / error signals
