Viewing background services while installing module or restarting a service

Hello,

I'm just curious what are some of the commands the community is using when it comes to viewing progress on service restarts, or a module install, or whatever logs we are able to view in real time when making changes(instead of hitting the enter key 1000 times).

An example that I use when performing a HOTFIX upgrade: 

watch --interval=1 tmsh show sys software status

Just wondering what everyone else is doing in terms of watching background processes during service restarts, or modifying a sys provision and witnessing the progress made during a module install.

Thanks!

    I do usually get a fresh coffee while services/units are booting... ;-)

     

    Cheers, Kai

    vconsole is fine during a reboot, but in these occurrences I still maintain SSH/TMSH access. Appreciate the ideas though, just looking for more visibility into background services and commands to watch/witness what they are actually doing...
