 Currently the bridge will run in foreground, so you'll have to keep `bbctl run`
-active somewhere (tmux is a good option). In the future, a service mode will be
+active somewhere (tmux is a good option). 
+
+Use crontab to set the bridge up to start on reboot. If you would like logging
+add the following entry to your crontab and replace `<bbctl path>` with the location of 
+bbctl, `<bridge name>` with the name of the bridge, and `<log path>` with the 
+location of where you would like logs saved:
+
+`@reboot /<path>/bbctl run  <bridge name> > /<log path>/<bridge name>.log`
+
+If you do not want logging add the following to your crontab:
+
+`@reboot /<path>/bbctl run  <bridge name> > /dev/null`
+
+In the future, a service mode will be
 added where the bridge is registered as a systemd or launchd service to be
 started automatically by the OS.
