Subject: [PATCH] Fix real-time log streaming by simplifying service start
 command

- Remove complex background process monitoring that was buffering output
- Use direct journalctl -fu command for immediate real-time log streaming
- Eliminate monitoring loop that was killing log stream when service became active
- User now controls log following duration with Ctrl+C
- Fixes buffering issues that prevented seeing ark server startup logs in real-time
