ak config status

ak config status

Show the running state of the dashboard server

Synopsis

What it does: Read the dashboard server state file and report whether the server is running. Shows PID, bind address, URL, and uptime when running. Exits 0 whether or not the server is running - use the running field in --json output to branch.

Who it's for: Both: power devs checking server health in scripts (--json) and non-technical users.

When to use it: Checking whether ak config start has been run, or verifying the dashboard is still up. Safe to call repeatedly - read-only.

Examples: ak config status # human-readable one-liner ak config status --json # JSON envelope with schema_version, running, url, pid

What changes on disk: Read-only: ~/.agentkit/dashboard-state.json.

Output modes: pretty default on TTY (colors, ASCII markers) plain auto when stdout piped or --no-interactive json --json (single-object envelope, NDJSON-safe)

Exit codes: 0 success 1 runtime error 2 invalid flags 3 user-cancel (SIGINT, prompt-cancel)
