Public bug reported:

The manpage for systemctl says that -n can be used to specify how many
journal lines to show.

It only works for values <= 10, there is no way to make it show more
than 10 lines. For example 'systemctl -n 100 status SERVICE' shows 10
lines, not 100. 'journalctl -n 100 -u SERVICE' does work as expected
though.

Its confusing if you are not aware of this and can make you miss
important output from a failed program.

systemd package version: 229-4ubuntu17
systemctl version: systemd 229
