Answer from AI

Yes, access to system logs can be obtained without using a graphical interface, by using the command line or terminal. In Unix-like systems, the commonly used commands are:

  • tail -f /var/log/syslog or tail -f /var/log/messages — to view the latest log entries in real-time.
  • journalctl — for working with the systemd journal.

In Windows, PowerShell or command prompt can be used with commands like Get-EventLog or wevtutil to access event logs.

Thus, system logs are accessible and managed through console tools, which is convenient for servers and automation.
