What is this?
dsh --profile web keeps a long-running process in your terminal, driven from a
browser Web UI. This plugin makes closing the Web UI equivalent to exiting the
process: once every page is closed, the CLI process exits automatically through
the same graceful shutdown path as Ctrl+C (exit code 130) — no need to go back to
the terminal.
How it works
- Detection — the browser page keeps WebSocket connections to the CLI
process; closing the page drops them.
- Grace period — after all connections are lost, it waits 15 seconds
(configurable) before exiting, so a quick refresh or reopen never kills the
process; reopening the page cancels the exit.
- Exit — when the grace period expires, it uses the same graceful shutdown
channel as Ctrl+C and the process ends with exit code 130, saving state as usual.
Install
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-auto-exit
Or from the GitHub source (identical content):
dsh plugin --profile web add github:xiaxingtianxia2-glitch/dsh-auto-exit
Usage
- Start
dsh --profile web and open the Web UI in your browser (default
http://127.0.0.1:3080).
- Close the browser tab(s)/window(s) (all of them if you have several).
- The process exits automatically 15 seconds later.
Check status
curl http://127.0.0.1:3080/auto-exit/status
{"enabled":true,"armed":true,"sockets":2,"countdownMs":0,"graceSeconds":15,"pollMs":1000,"dryRun":false,"lastEvent":"armed","fired":false}
Field meanings: sockets — current page connections; countdownMs — remaining
countdown (0 = not counting down); lastEvent — latest state change
(idle/armed/lost/cancel/exit).
Configuration
FAQ
- Why hasn't it exited yet? Other tabs/windows are still open — the countdown
only starts once all connections are gone.
- Does it exit on laptop sleep or browser crash? Yes — a dropped connection
means the UI is no longer usable; increase
graceSeconds if you don't want that.
- How do I turn it off temporarily? Set
enabled to false, or uninstall:
dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-auto-exit.
