Yeah, journalctl -f shouldn't do that. That makes it a lot less useful. If I'm following the logs with "journalctl -f", I basically only see the time, hostname, and process name/id. Pretty much everything else is truncated. If I actually need to see the messages, is the Right Way to do this "journalctl -f |cat"? I wouldn't mind having a "-t" option to truncate for the rare situations where I don't actually want to see log messages, but truncating by default is frustrating, particularly when resizing the window doesn't untruncate previously printed lines. -- 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
