3.3.1 Open SSH terminal

The terminal supports multiple SSH tabs side by side, each isolated—handy when one tab runs a long job while another checks status.

Tab isolation

Each tab is its own SSH session:

  • Env vars, working directory cd, and shell functions in tab A do not affect tab B
  • Ctrl+C in tab A does not interrupt what runs in tab B
  • Closing a tab closes only that SSH session; processes started with nohup on the board keep running

What you see when Moss runs commands

Device commands Moss needs also stream in the terminal:

OriginWhere commands show
You type in the terminalCurrent tab
Moss runs on the deviceSame tab, live

You can watch exactly what Moss runs. If a command looks wrong, Ctrl+C in the terminal cancels it and the AI Dock task stays in sync.

Switching devices and tabs

When you change the active device, Terminal usually opens the new session in a new tab while old tabs remain—long jobs are not torn down unexpectedly. Close old tabs manually if you do not need them.

Common actions

  • Stop a running command: use the usual interrupt key in the terminal.
  • Copy output: select text, then copy per your OS habit.
  • Paste commands: read them first, then paste to avoid accidents.
