Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
My Cursor IDE just restarted, I had many processes open, even while writing some scripts.
When I reopened Cursor, after 4 minutes, it had stopped halfway through the script, meaning that the IDE closed, it did not continue.
So, cursor must continue working in the background, even if the IDE application on windows is closed. Somewhere it must cache on the web, or somewhere in the background, to finish the task even if the IDE application is closed.
When I reopen the IDE, what it started should be finished.
Steps to Reproduce
For Cursor Developers:
Background Process Persistence
Implement a background service that continues running even when the main IDE window is closed
Cache operations and resume when IDE reopens
Web-Based Task Queue
Store ongoing tasks in cloud storage or local database
Resume from last checkpoint when IDE restarts
Auto-save Checkpoints
Create periodic save points during long operations
Prompt to resume unfinished work on restart
