If I run "systemctl" and see that "console-k...tem-start.service" or "fedora-st...init-late.service" exited, I have no way to use that information. If I try to run "systemctl status console-k...tem-start.service", I get "Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)". I've also had many times where I tried to search (with "/somestring") for a service I knew part of the name of and failed to find it because the middle of the service name was truncated. I now completely avoid running "systemctl" without arguments because the truncation has made the command, to me, unreliable and useless. So, no, it's not an exaggeration. Which isn't to say that systemctl is unusable, just systemctl without arguments. > Hey, it's pretty straighforward code in > http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/src/systemctl/systemctl.c#n314. > If you can design a better way to split available columns, go for it. The output of "systemctl list-unit-files" is very usable, with no truncation of the most important text. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
