#2969 Manage Running Jobs from the Command Line Issue created by MeltyBot Migrated from GitLab: https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/issues/3034 Originally created by @davesgonechina on 2021-11-01 151624 --- Problem to solve Anecdotally I've seen at least one instance where a

meltano elt

job `ctrl-c`'ed at the command line could still be seen running in

ps aux

and killed using

pkill -f

. Target audience Users managing jobs at the command line. Proposal It would be useful if the CLI provided features to: • Run a job in the background. • List jobs currently running, perhaps with additional useful information such as process details, log location, etc. • Cancel running jobs. All of this can, AFAIK, be accomplished already through Linux commands (

&

for backgrounding,

ps

, etc.) but it's not clear whether those would be best practices, users might not be familiar with or confident using those commands with Meltano, and generally it would improve the user experience with the tool. meltano/meltano
