A command line like this will start just the terminal service, and daemonize:

  sbbs d t!

Similarly f!, m!, s!, w! for ftp, mail, services, web. You'll see these and other options if you do 'sbbs --help'.

I'm on Linux and have separate systemd unit files for each of these (except FTP which I don't bother with anymore). I also run some of the JS services (JSON-DB, ircd, etc.) standalone via jsexec so I can restart my services without interrupting them.

I wouldn't push this configuration on the average sysop, but since my BBS is mainly for development and sees frequent restarts it's handy for me to keep certain things online. (Lots of people connect to my JSON-DB and so on.)
