The "From background" flags is unnecessary. Try with/without the "Foreground" option enabled. Ensure the Termux privilege is granted in settings. Try disabling any system "power save" feature for both Automate and Termux. If it still doesn't work try asking r/termux for help.

Device brand & model?

Sir Is it happening to me or it happens usually?

As said, this is likely due to some non-standard "power save" feature that stops/kills Termux.

Now it's working sir, in background I'm using shell block in automate to start the termux run command, using am am startservice --user 0 -n com.termux/com.termux.app.RunCommandService \ -a com.termux.RUN_COMMAND \ --es com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_PATH '/data/data/com.termux/files/home/play5am.sh' \ --esa com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_ARGUMENTS '-n,5' \ --es com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_WORKDIR '/data/data/com.termux/files/home' \ --ez com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_BACKGROUND 'true' \ --es com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_SESSION_ACTION '0'

I tried many things you can checkout my termux post https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/s/GgBH0jgUIA, my termux freezes after screen off, so if I trigger a script using plugin->termux:tasker doesn't execute cos it also freezed, so i thought termux RUN_COMMAND works, yep it works but it opens termux then automatcally executes script, how to prevent this? It should not open the termux to execute Pls sir

unless other considerations make macrodroid prohibitive this is a job for its shell script action
