How? It seems journald uses its own specific format for logs and all services (per user) are mixed together. Systemd unit can be configured to log to the journal, syslog and few other options, but I don't see a way how to make a separate log per service, except by wrapping the ptp4l/phc2sys commands in shell. The best option I found is to change the syslog identifier or syslog facility and configure some filters in rsyslog. -- Miroslav Lichvar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Linuxptp-devel mailing list Linuxptp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxptp-devel
