This is a bad thing, not something I’d boast about.
I actually really enjoy using systemd. Being able to start a process with complete isolation without heavyweight docker downloading mystery meat off the internet is a huge boon.
However, one thing systemd is logging. Jounalctl sucks. Grep, cat, etc, work infinitesimally better.
- kaba0 4y agoYou can redirect all your logs to traditional string-based ones if you want though.
- exabrial 4y agoPrecisely. That's exactly what we end up doing
- yawaramin 4y ago'Infinitesimally' means 'by a negligible amount'. Which is (accidentally) accurate. There's nothing preventing you from using grep, cat, etc. with the output of journalctl. It's just a tool in the pipeline.
