Session Monitor alerts
Get told when Claude Code, Codex or any AI agent stops working, a long job finishes, or a terminal waits for input — on your phone or computer, whether or not you’re watching.

What it watches
Event
When it fires
“Claude Code stopped working on build-box”
An AI agent or any program in a Terminal Sync terminal was busy (at least 20 seconds of output) and then went quiet for a minute: it finished, or it’s waiting for your answer. Names what is in front — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Aider, Cursor Agent… — also when it runs on another server over ssh (“Claude Code (over ssh to dev@server)”). Fires once per quiet spell.
“Codex stopped working on laptop” (any terminal)
An AI coding agent running in an ordinary terminal (not Terminal Sync) used the processor while working, then sat idle for a minute. Install the Silux agent on the server where the AI runs to watch it there too.
Session Monitor · Run finished
A terminal job, build, browser-automation run or AI coding agent on the computer finished — “… finished after 12 min (over SSH)”. Runs shorter than the category’s minimum (30 seconds by default) are ignored.
Session Monitor · Terminal idle
A Terminal Sync shell produced no output for the idle window — a build hung or a command is waiting for input — with follow-up warnings at 5, 10 and 30 minutes.
Terminal exited
A Terminal Sync shell ended, even if nobody was attached at the time.
It covers every persistent terminal on the computer at once, independent of any viewer.
Good to know: Terminal Sync is end-to-end encrypted, so alerts never contain what was on the screen — only the program’s name, the computer, and how long it worked and has been quiet. The quiet time (60 seconds) can be changed per category with quiet_seconds.
Where alerts appear
- The notification bell on the website (with a Session Monitor tag).
- The app’s notifications, as a pop-up when Show OS notifications is on.
- Your phone, as a push notification on Android and iPhone — even when the Silux Connect app is closed. Sign in on the phone once and allow notifications; turn phone alerts off in Settings → Notifications → Push.
Choosing what you’re told about
In the app: Settings → Notification center → Session Monitor. Switch categories on or off — Connection & device, Terminal & automation, Browser activity, Processes & training, On this computer — and set the Idle timeout.
Good to know: Session Monitor is switched on per workspace by your Silux Connect server’s operator. Settings marked “Required by your administrator” can’t be turned off; “Contact your admin to enable” means it isn’t on for your workspace yet.

One shell on the host, attached from anywhere: it survives disconnects, replays scrollback on reattach and buffers your typing while offline.
