I often make that mistake. Although the names are logical, there is some kind of cognitive trap here. From a human factors standpoint, it would be better if they didn't look alike. Of course that is less logical and elegant. I'd also prefer "journalctl" to be shorter to type. Also, ctl seems to be redundant: what other command can you give the journal? On my system, "jou" TAB completes to "journalctl". ================ The --now flag is a feature that I've wanted but never noticed. Thanks! I wonder if I'll remember when I need it. The naming is not too good since the requested action was always immediate. --now asks for a different but related action. I've previously daydreamed about a syntax for systemctl which would allow a sequence of COMMANDS in a single invocation just as a list of UNITs is allowed. systemctl [OPTIONS...] COMMAND [UNIT...] For example: sytemctl enable,start,status dovecot --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
