* journalctl: allow --root argument for journal watchingZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2016-08-121-2/+4
| | | | | | | | It is useful to look at a (possibly inactive) container or other os tree with --root=/path/to/container. This is similar to specifying --directory=/path/to/container/var/log/journal --directory=/path/to/container/run/systemd/journal (if using --directory multiple times was allowed), but doesn't require as much typing.
* journalctl: add new output mode "short-full" (#3880)Lennart Poettering2016-08-041-18/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | This new output mode formats all timestamps using the usual format_timestamp() call we use pretty much everywhere else. Timestamps formatted this way are some ways more useful than traditional syslog timestamps as they include weekday, month and timezone information, while not being much longer. They are also not locale-dependent. The primary advantage however is that they may be passed directly to journalctl's --since= and --until= switches as soon as #3869 is merged. While we are at it, let's also add "short-unix" to shell completion.
* man: revise entry about specifying a file path (#3739)mulkieran2016-07-201-12/+20
| | | | | | | | | | * Specifying a device node has an effect much larger than a simple shortcut for a field/value match, so the original sentence is no longer a good way to start the paragraph. * Specifying a device node causes matches to be generated for all ancestor devices of the device specified, not just its parents. * Indicates that the path must be absolute, but that it may be a link. * Eliminates a few typos.

* journalctl: add --no-hostname switchLennart Poettering2016-04-221-0/+7
| | | | | | This suppresses output of the hostname for messages from the local system. Fixes: #2342
* journalctl: add output mode where time is shown in seconds since 1st Jan ↵Lennart Poettering2016-04-221-0/+10
| | | | | | | | 1970 UTC aka "UNIX time". Fixes: #2120
* Master minutes (#3060)mulkieran2016-04-181-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | * man: change time unit specifier for minutes to "m", not "min". To alert the reader to the fact that the ambiguous prefix "m" will be interpreted as minutes, not months. * man: change 'journal files' to 'archived journal files'. So that the user may be reminded why they see log entries in the journal from a time previous to the one they specified when using --vacuum-time.

* journalctl: make --rotate synchronous, tooLennart Poettering2015-11-111-6/+8
| | | | | | | | Of course, ideally we'd just use normal synchronous bus calls, but this is out of the question as long as we rely on dbus-daemon (which logs to journald, and thus cannot use to avoid cyclic sync loops). Hence, instead, reuse the wait logic already implemented for --sync, and use a signal in one direction, and a mtime watch file for the reply.
* journalctl: add new --sync switch for syncing the journal to diskLennart Poettering2015-11-111-3/+21
| | | | | | | | | | With this new "--sync" switch we add a synchronous way to sync everything queued to disk, and return only after that's complete. This command gives the guarantee that anything queued before has hit the disk before the command returns. While we are at it, also improve the man pages and help text for journalctl a bit.

* journal: rework vacuuming logicLennart Poettering2015-10-021-8/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement a maximum limit on number of journal files to keep around. Enforcing a limit is useful on this since our performance when viewing pays a heavy penalty for each journal file to interleve. This setting is turned on now by default, and set to 100. Also, actully implement what 348ced909724a1331b85d57aede80a102a00e428 promised: use whatever we find on disk at startup as lower bound on how much disk space we can use. That commit introduced some provisions to implement this, but actually never did. This also adds "journalctl --vacuum-files=" to vacuum files on disk by their number explicitly.

* man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setupsTom Gundersen2015-06-181-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.
* man: generate configured paths in manpagesFilipe Brandenburger2015-05-281-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup. Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach. This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220 The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of: - Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount. - Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc. These will be handled separately by follow up patches. Tested: - With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly. - Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist. - Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.
* man: don't mention "journalctl /dev/sda"Lennart Poettering2015-04-021-5/+0

* journalctl: add new --vacuum-size= and --vacuum-time= commands to clean up ↵Lennart Poettering2014-11-031-2/+31

* journalctl: add new --flush command and make use of it in ↵Lennart Poettering2014-10-231-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | systemd-journal-flush.service This new command will ask the journal daemon to flush all log data stored in /run to /var, and wait for it to complete. This is useful, so that in case of Storage=persistent we can order systemd-tmpfiles-setup afterwards, to ensure any possibly newly created directory in /var/log gets proper access mode and owners.

* journalctl: add "-t --identifier=STRING" optionHarald Hoyer2014-08-211-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This turns journalctl to the counterpart of systemd-cat. Messages sent with systemd-cat --identifier foo --prioritiy debug can now be shown with journalctl --identifier foo --prioritiy debug "--identifier" is not merged with "--unit" to make a clear distinction between syslog and systemd units. syslog identifiers can be chosen freely by anyone.

* man: add a mapping for external manpagesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2014-07-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o. Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies. In generated html, add external links to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/, https://www.archlinux.org/. By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff. The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the manpages. Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from archlinux.org. Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

* pager: support SYSTEMD_LESS environment variableJason A. Donenfeld2014-02-121-0/+4
| | | | | | This allows customization of the arguments used by less. The main motivation is that some folks might not like having --no-init on every invocation of less.
* journalctl: allow globbing in --unit and --user-unitZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2014-01-111-9/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a continuation of e3e0314b systemctl: allow globbing in commands which take multiple unit names. Multiple patterns can be specified, as separate arguments, or as one argument with patterns seperated by commas. If patterns are given, at least one unit must be matched (by any of the patterns). This is different behaviour than systemctl, but here it is necessary because otherwise anything would be matched, which is unlikely to be the intended behaviour. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59336
