 +If you're using **systemd** to start and control ''sbbs'', you can use ''journalctl'' to monitor the log (with colorized log lines) in real-time:
 +  $ journalctl --follow -u sbbs
 +
 +Another option for systemd systems is to use ''systemctl'' together with ''watch'' to monitor both the service status and log output together in real-time:
 +  $ sudo watch systemctl status sbbs
      
 +An alternative tool to actively monitor log files is the ''lnav'' utility:
 +
 +  $ sudo lnav /var/log/logfile
