Flox Services Guide

Running Services in Flox Environments

• Start with flox activate --start-services or flox activate -s
• Define is-daemon, shutdown.command for background processes
• Keep services running using tail -f /dev/null
• Use flox services status/logs/restart to manage (must be in activated env)
• Service commands don't inherit hook activations; explicitly source/activate what you need
