I have a bash script that starts elasticsearch (./scripts/dev/start_elasticsearch.sh).
if I launch this script in a normal shell and at the end of it I close the shell Elasticsearch will still run in the background.

For a little project im using vs code. To test email outputs, I use a script that just logs incoming smtp messages.

I am working in a repo that has a tasks.json that starts a couple of tasks (tsc -w and dependency syncing) whenever the folder is opened. I do not care for the VSCode integrated terminal and I personally like to invoke these tasks manually. My coworkers disagree, so I can’t change the repo-level tasks.json. Is there any way to make them stop running without altering this file? I would be okay with just removing/disabling the terminal from VSCode entirely.

I am writing documentation on my project using mkdocs. I would like to automatically run mkdocs serve (compiles the docs and runs local web server) and open browser window(simpleBrowser.show).
