Activity and Change Timeline
What ran, what it printed, and what changed.
Activity is the history of every command Command Center has run: the last 100 jobs, kept across restarts. The sidebar badge shows how many are running right now.
Select a job to see:
- its title, status (running, succeeded, failed, cancelled, timed out or interrupted), start and finish times, and exit code,
- the exact command and folder it ran in,
- its output (for background jobs, up to 2 MB per job; anything cut off is marked clearly).
Actions on a job:
| Button | When |
|---|---|
| Stop job | A background or embedded-terminal job is running. It stops the command and everything it started |
| Terminal closed? Stop monitoring | An external-terminal job whose terminal you've closed. Use it only once you're sure the command has ended |
| Mark reviewed | A failed job you've dealt with. It then leaves Needs attention |
Interactive sessions (installers in the Terminal) record their result here, but not what was typed or shown. That stays in the terminal. See How Commands Run for how jobs run, run side by side, and stop.
If the app crashes or the computer shuts down during a job, that job is marked interrupted on the next start. Check what the command did before running it again.
Change timeline answers "what changed before this stopped working?" It merges:
- jobs from Activity: package updates, Git operations, backups, service actions, workflow and profile steps, and so on,
- configuration saves from the Configuration page (each save keeps a backup of the previous file).
Search timeline by title, result, category or folder, and filter with All categories or one category. Refresh timeline reloads it.
A configuration entry means the file was saved (and the old one backed up). It doesn't mean the change was activated. For Home Manager-managed files, that happens when you apply Home Manager.
Note
The timeline only knows about changes made through Command Center. Changes from other apps or the command line don't appear.
