I'm trying to use the terminal windows in RStudio but it shows a 'busy' status in a blank windows.

I tried to closed it, close everything and re-open it and nothing.

I also have tried turning off all the terminal options but doesn't work. My terminal windows still shows a 'busy' status.

Here is what the terminal diagnostic shows:

Hi,

You are likely running a shiny app. This app is within your current r session i.e. terminal session. Your terminal should be available as soon as you stop that app.

See documentation here:

Hi @jm_t,

No, this problem happens just when I open the RStudio through a Browser.

I have tried to stop any process behind using the stop bottom or by "Interrupt Current Terminal" but doesn't work, I still have the "busy" status

Hi,

Then I have no idea. Sorry.

Could be some process started by R as part of the executing some init scripts.
I never used them but I know they exists and can change stuff in R session.

Regards,

Do you have a custom .bash_profile or similar that might be trying to run code when the shell is initialized that is hanging?
