Hey, thanks for the report here!

We’ve been working hard on the reliably of terminal command execution recently, and I’ve passed this to the team to look into - I’d expect significant improvements here in our upcoming versions 🙌

Yes I can second having these issues as well. When it runs a command like a started server on localhost it just sits there and hangs. I would expect it to start the server and move on to the next task on it;’s list. The only option is to skip the command most of the time and then the long running process ends.
