# Status Indicators

The sidebar shows visual indicators next to each command so you can see its current state at a glance.

## Common states

- **Running** – the command is currently executing.
- **Starting** – the command is in the process of launching.
- **Stopping** – the command is shutting down.
- **Stopped** – the command isn't running.
- **Failed** – the command exited unsuccessfully, or Solo could not launch or poll it.

## Important

- [Trust state](./trust-security.md) is separate from run-state indicators. An untrusted command has its own distinct visual treatment.
- A command whose [crash auto-restart](./auto-restart.md) has paused after repeated crashes shows a separate exhausted auto-restart indicator when its effective notification level is **Important** or **All**; **None** suppresses that indicator.
- [Notification/read-state indicators](../notifications/indicators.md) (for example, unread notification activity) are also separate from lifecycle state.
- The terminal output view and sidebar lifecycle state update through separate paths, so they can temporarily appear out of sync.
