In the background
sshSecure connection
◐ Close the app instead
An encrypted connection to another computer or a virtual machine.
What it is
Developer tools such as Colima, Git and editors open connections like this one, often in the background.
If you close it
Whatever uses the connection loses it, sometimes mid-task. Stop it from the tool that opened it.
The verdict
◐ Close the app instead. A part of an app. Closing it alone breaks something, so close its app.
In Activity Monitor
ssh
From Procession’s guide, in the words the app shows.
