Hello, I have a strange case when there is no output in the journal from rsync when the command is run from a service. This is on Fedora 21 with systemd 217.
Consider the following trivial test unit: # cat /etc/systemd/system/test.service [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/rsync -vv /etc/hostname /tmp StandardError=journal StandardOutput=journal Type=oneshot When I run it via systemctl start test I have no messages in the journal. journalctl -au test gives an empty output. Now, if I capture the rsync ouput into a shell variable like in: # cat /etc/systemd/system/test.service [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c 'a=$(/usr/bin/rsync -vv /etc/hostname /tmp); echo "$a"' StandardError=journal StandardOutput=journal Type=oneshot Then rsync stdout is captured and I have after systemctl start test: # journalctl -au test -- Logs begin at Thu 2015-01-01 20:02:12 CET, end at Sun 2015-01-04 20:54:54 CET. -- Jan 04 20:54:02 dserver bash[6284]: delta-transmission disabled for local transfer or --whole-file Jan 04 20:54:02 dserver bash[6284]: hostname Jan 04 20:54:02 dserver bash[6284]: total: matches=0 hash_hits=0 false_alarms=0 data=8 Jan 04 20:54:02 dserver bash[6284]: sent 98 bytes received 102 bytes 400.00 bytes/sec Jan 04 20:54:02 dserver bash[6284]: total size is 8 speedup is 0.04 What could prevent stdout capturing with rsync? _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
