prefect shell serve
Creates and serves a Prefect deployment that runs a specified shell command according to a cron schedule or ad hoc.

It provides options for scheduled execution via cron expressions, flow and deployment naming for better management, and the application of tags for easier categorization and filtering within the Prefect UI.
