If it's a systemd service you can run journalctl -u <service-name>

You can check for latest logs by clicking **SHIFT + G **

Make sure systems is installed apt-get install systemd

Depends on the process and how you started it. If it writes to stdout (which is probable, given that the output is usually to the terminal), you can redirect the output to a file with

command > logfile &

If you also want to log error message from stderr, do

command > logfile 2> errorlogfile &

or

command > logfile 2>&1 &

to get everything in one file.
