Running multiple instances of the steampipe CLI?

[dboeke]

How do I run multiple instances of the steampipe CLI (e.g. in a different terminal window on the same device)?

Right now I get and error message You already have a steampipe query session open.

To run multiple instances of steampipe in different threads:

1. .exit from your current open session.
2. run the following command to start the Steampipe service

~$ steampipe service start

3. Now you can run multiple interactive console sessions in different threads and terminals:

~$ steampipe query

4. When you are done with all sessions, run

~$ steampipe service stop
