I set up a grin node by following [Build and Run Automation - Grin Documentation](https://docs.grin.mw/wiki/extra-documents/build-run-automation/)

Everything started up successfully, but I’m wondering how to check the sync status of the node give that UI is disabled.

when running via `systemd` you have to check locally with a `curl` command like:

`curl -d '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"get_status","params":{} }' -o - -X POST http://localhost:3413/v2/owner`

```auto
