I was able to disable journald similar to this: systemctl stop systemd-journald-dev-log.socket systemd-journald.socket systemd-journald.service systemctl mask systemd-journald-dev-log.socket systemd-journald.socket systemd-journald.service (I tried to "disable" those services first, but somehow journald got started anyway on the next reboot). Configure rsyslog with: $AddUnixListenSocket /var/run/systemd/journal/syslog $SystemLogSocketName /var/run/systemd/journal/syslog Or with the new configuration format[0]: module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.Name="/run/systemd/journal/syslog" Socket="/var/run/systemd/journal/syslog") I also had to adjust the /dev/log symlink to point to /var/run/systemd/journal/syslog, so that programs like logger(1) will still work. Added the following to /etc/rc.local (or wherevery custom startup routines were configured): ln -svf /var/run/systemd/journal/syslog /dev/log | logger -t "$0" With all that journald is no longer running and rsyslog still works! :-) [0] http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/imuxsock.html _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
