Sounds like a good idea.

A similar tool could be one that inspects boot IDs like you suggest. To make this work nicely we need a minor update of the journal indexing logic however (which is already there in the format, but not implemented) Lennart -- Lennart Poettering - Red Hat, Inc. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
