## pw workspace status

Show the workspace status

### Synopsis

The **pw workspace status** command shows whether your user workspace is
running. An idle workspace is scaled down automatically, so **Off** and
**Stopped** are normal resting states; start it with **pw workspace start**.

Pass **--user** to check another user's workspace, which requires user
access in their organization.

```
pw workspace status [flags]
```

### Examples

```
  # Show your workspace status
  pw workspace status
  
  # Show it as JSON
  pw workspace status -o json
  
  # Check another user's workspace
  pw workspace status --user alice
```

### Options

```
  -h, --help            help for status

  -o, --output string   Output format (table, json) (default "table")
      --user string     Check another user's workspace (defaults to yourself)
```
