That is simple if your Pi is in your home, and you can go back to the Pi when you need to stop MX (perhaps to update it to a new release). But maybe you are running Pi headless, or it is in a remote location, in that case instead of starting and stopping MX in a terminal session, you will want to issue commands that connect to a separate session for starting MX so you can disconnect from that session without causing MX to close. As I type this a new release is allowing MX to run as a service, and a future release is planned to change the associated script, so anything I write here might become obsolete, and the next paragraph gives you some links to the support forum. Hopefully, someone will edit this article, when instructions have settled down and won't change on next release. | That is simple if your Pi is in your home, and you can go back to the Pi when you need to stop MX (perhaps to update it to a new release).
