journalctl outputs to less (or whatever $PAGER contains) by default or you can pipe its output to anything else. Running journalctl with no arguments is the equivalent of cat /var/log/messages. I do have syslog installed, but that's a holdover from when I was experimenting with systemd, I really could get rid of it now. -- Neil Bothwick How do you know when it's time to tune your bagpipes?
