Well, it does, if you set StandardOutput=journal+console the way Ashish did it. But maybe this is actually where the confusion comes from. Console does not equal console. What Ashish is doing will write the commands output directly to /dev/console, i.e. *not* the tty you are running your commands from. This is because the service in question is a system service, disconnected from your own tty. > even something like "systemd-run -t --service-type=oneshot --quiet" behaves > differently and don't work if you call it via crond to get the typical > behavior of cronjobs sending mails when some output appears (imho a major > bug by design or accident) This is completely unrelated to Ashish' case. Note that what you do above should actually work fine on current systemd. With v230 I get: <snip> $ systemd-run -t --service-type=oneshot --quiet /bin/echo hallo | cat hallo </snip> Which suggests this works fine. This didn't always works though, and it was pretty nasty to get right actually. The core of the problem is really that "-t" actually allocates a tty, and ttys know no clean concept of single-direction EOF, but only bi-directional hangups. Thus, using ttys as the backend for inner components of shell pipeliness, without losing trailing data is really hard to get right. But anyway, this should work now.
