I'm set up to use "https://vswitchzero.com/mystic-systemd/".  It allows me an
unattended restart of the bbs on a power loss.  To actually see what the bbs is
doing, I shut down the systemd service.  Then I start the bbs back up manually
with ./mis server.  That window I keep open.

I used to run nodespy as well but it only shows info when a user is actually
logged in.  I don't run it full time any more.

I'm going to try tail -f /bbs/mystic/logs/*.log and see how I like it.
