Nice work!  Yah, that's the downside of running it in a service.

At the moment, I have a couple ssh terminals open to the BBS Pi at any given time running 2-3 commands:

1.  tail -f /bbs/mystic/logs/*.log
  - this gives a live feed of anything happening, incoming/outgoing echomail packets and files, connections, etc.  anything that writes to the log files.

2.  /bbs/mystic/nodespy
  - this is a nice UI that acts like a waiting for caller screen.  You can see who's logged in, snoop on their sessions, kick as needed, etc.

3.  /bbs/mystic/mystic -cfg
  - running as needed, but usually running while I'm working on things.

Hope that helps!
