This option was added with util-linux v2.25 in 2014. If you're using an older version or the Busybox `logger` instead, well, it won't have that.
The alternative is to write your own C tool that uses libsystemd and calls sd_journal_send() with the correct fields (libsystemd is definitely going to be present), or a Python tool that uses systemd.journal.send(). (Or maybe call libsystemd through python ctypes or whatever other FFI mechanism is available.)

主题: Re: 回复: Is it possible to send a string to the journal of one specific systemd unitIf you have root privileges (i.e. UID 0), then yes, you can send a journal message with the "OBJECT_SYSTEMD_UNIT=myservice.service" field and journalctl will automatically look for that.
In C, specify the field when calling sd_journal_sendv(); in bash you can use `logger --journal`:
(echo "OBJECT_SYSTEMD_UNIT=sshd.service";
echo "MESSAGE=Hello world!") | sudo logger --journal

Saying we have a systemd unit named "myservice".
we can use journalctl -u myservice to inspect the logs generated by myservice.
But is there a way to insert one string from command-line into myservice's journal so that it can be seen by journalctl -u myservice later?
