This one is pretty fine by me tbh.
Sure, though having just tried that is took 33s to search about a months
worth of logs instead of the 0.05s that greping the last months messages
took ;-)
The next most common thing I probably do is to load the log into vi so I
can search back and forth to see matches in context, but obviously that
is not something journalctl is every really going to be able to do.
Your favourite pager probably can though. Less has the same mark and
navigation keystrokes as vi. Although if you really do want to open in
an editor you'll probably need to redirect to a file.
Oh I know that - not sure why I tend to use vi really. Possibly because
it's quite easy to quit less by hitting the wrong key but you have to
make an effort to exit vi.
