title: Hello World
---
Minimal systemg service.
```yaml
version: "1"
logs:
sink: file
max_bytes: 10485760
max_files: 3
status:
snapshot_mode: summary
snapshot_interval_secs: 5
services:
counter:
command: "sh counter.sh"
```
```bash
$ i=1
$ while true; do
$ echo "Count: $i"
$ i=$((i + 1))
$ sleep 1
$ done
```
```bash
$ sysg start
$ sysg logs --service counter
$ sysg stop
```
You'll see:
```
The example keeps `logs.sink: file` explicit so `sysg logs` works immediately.
For high-volume services, use `logs.sink: none` and rely on your normal logging
pipeline.
`status.snapshot_mode: summary` keeps status and inspect reads inexpensive by
using cached summary snapshots.
Count: 1
Count: 2
Count: 3
```
## Next steps
Add a restart policy to handle crashes:
```yaml
version: "1"
logs:
sink: file
max_bytes: 10485760
max_files: 3
status:
snapshot_mode: summary
snapshot_interval_secs: 5
services:
counter:
command: "sh counter.sh"
restart_policy: "always"
```
