not everyone runs binkd as a hidden service... some of us prefer to run it in a
window so we can see what's really going on without having to run another
process to tail the log file...

do these only work when binkd is running as a service or will they also work
when it is being run as a normal process in a window?

does it work on all supported OSes?
