We currently use the term SYSTEMD when referring to libsystemd-login
and JOURNAL when referring to libsystemd-journal.
I will be shortly adding support for libsystemd-daemon and in
preparation I figured it would be a good idea to clarify the names
used currently before adding another!
The journal is a component of systemd, that captures Syslog messages,
Kernel log messages, initial RAM disk and early boot messages as well
as messages written to STDOUT/STDERR of all services, indexes them and
makes this available to the user.
It can be used in parallel, or in place of a traditional syslog daemon,
such as rsyslog or syslog-ng.
The journal offers a couple of improvements over traditional logging
facilities (e.g. advanced filtering capabilities).
This patch adds support for logging directly to the journal using its
native API.
--exit-idle-time and --scache-idle-time were marked as having an
optional argument when the argument is actually mandatory. This causes a
crash when using this argument.
Thanks to Matthijs Kooijman (blathijs on IRC) for pointing this out.
This patch enables logging of text debug messages (pa_log feature) into a file or a device driver.
Example : pulseaudio --log-target=file:./mylog.txt
(Minor tweaks by Colin + Arun)
It's good for new users - I didn't know about the convention for
daemon checks to only bump the exit code until, say, a year after I
first installed Linux. Of course, we could also put an entire guide to
using Linux in our manpage, or tell users how to check the exit code
with $?, or how to get to the terminal, or an example script, ... (you
can see how this would quickly get out of control). So just a little
bit more hint should be good for now. John? Does this work for you?
