• Restart all univers-* development sessions or specific ones
• Start/​stop individual development sessions (server, ui, web, claude, etc.)
• Monitor status of all development sessions with categorized display
• Attach to specific development sessions
• Support for session groups: all, core, dev-views, developer
• Manage backend API server, UI development, web server, Claude terminal, and development views

Common Tasks

System Health Check

# CPU and memory usage
top -b -n 1 | head -20

# Disk usage
df -h

# Running processes
ps aux | head -20

Docker Operations

# List containers
docker ps -a

# View container logs
docker logs <container-name>

# Execute command in container
docker exec -it <container-name> /​bin/​bash

Log Analysis

# View recent system logs
journalctl -n 100

# Search application logs
grep -i "error" /​var/​log/​app.log

Univers Developer Session Management

# Restart all univers-* development sessions
cm dev restart

# Restart core development sessions only
cm dev restart core

# Restart specific session
cm dev restart univers-server
cm dev restart univers-ui
cm dev restart univers-web

# Show status of all sessions
cm dev status

# Attach to specific session
cm dev attach univers-server
cm dev attach univers-ui
cm dev attach univers-developer

# List all available sessions
cm dev list

# Start/​stop sessions
cm dev start
cm dev stop

Best Practices

1. Always check current status before making changes
2. Create backups before modifying critical configurations
3. Use appropriate permissions and avoid running as root when possible
4. Monitor resource usage regularly
5. Keep logs organized and rotated
6. Document configuration changes
7. Test changes in non-production environments first

Safety Guidelines

• Never delete system files without confirmation
• Always verify commands before execution
• Keep credentials secure and never commit to git
• Use environment variables for sensitive data
• Regularly update and patch the system
• Monitor for unusual activity or resource usage
