0:00Four commands manage a session's whole lifecycle from outside the TUI.

0:05rysh list-sessions shows every session, its state, and its process ID.

0:14rysh attach reopens a session's TUI exactly where you left it.

0:22And rysh detach gracefully detaches a running session from outside -- no need to be inside it.

0:31rysh delete-session tears it all down: it kills the process and purges the session's NATS data directory.

Key takeaway
attach, detach, list-sessions, and delete-session give you full lifecycle control from the shell.
