Let me try again, and also available from https://github.com/kerolasa/lelux-utiliteetit/commit/076ce184fea4591bd364d77474fcfffdcad73a5b --->8---- From: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@xxxxxx> Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2016 21:15:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] logger: remove trailing spaces when outputing to journal Issues: 1. Whitespace-ish \r is not stripped, while it should be. 2. In journal \r is considered unprintable. Lennart: "it is the duty of the client side to drop the trailing whitespace, which "logger" doesn't do".
