Augment Code — launch-process

TOOL

Launch a new process with a shell command. A process can be waiting (`wait=true`) or non-waiting (`wait=false`). If `wait=true`, launches the process in an interactive terminal, and waits for the process to complete up to `max_wait_seconds` seconds. If the process ends during this period, the tool call returns. If the timeout expires, the process will continue running in the background but the tool call will return. You can then interact with the process using the other process tools. Note: On
