Template authors can also set the [startup script behavior](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/coder/coder/latest/docs/resources/agent#startup_script_behavior) option to non-blocking, which will allow users to access the workspace while the startup script is still running. Note that the workspace must be updated after changing this option.

Useful commands:

- `coder ssh --wait my-workspace` or `export CODER_SSH_WAIT=true; ssh coder.my-workspace`
- `coder ssh --no-wait my-workspace` or `export CODER_SSH_NO_WAIT=true; ssh coder.my-workspace`
- `coder config-ssh --wait` or `coder config-ssh --no-wait`

#### Your workspace may be incomplete

If you see a warning that your workspace may be incomplete, it means you should be aware that programs, files, or settings may be missing from your workspace. This can happen if the [startup script](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/coder/coder/latest/docs/resources/agent#startup_script) is still running or has exited with a non-zero status (see [startup script error](#startup-script-error)). No action is necessary, but you may want to check the [startup script logs](#debugging-the-startup-script) to see if there are any issues.

They web terminal may show this message if it was started before the [startup script](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/coder/coder/latest/docs/resources/agent#startup_script) finished, but the startup script has since finished. This message can safely be dismissed, however, be aware that your preferred shell or dotfiles may not yet be activated for this shell session. You can either start a new session or source your dotfiles manually. Note that starting a new session means that commands running in the terminal will be terminated and you may lose unsaved work.
