  • there is no way (currently) to run a command in the background.
  • iOS has strong restrictions on running applications in the background; there is no way to run a python http server in a-Shell and an app that access the server, unless a-Shell is in the foreground. On an iPad, you can have several apps in the foreground.

and just make the a-shell use the track option that works just like the iSH Shell

Has anyone devised a way to run an ashell process in the background (e.g., a python script)?
