Unfortunately you can do this only on machines where journalctl is installed/available. I assume that you can't read the journald logs on most existing systems.
Just a matter of building journalctl from source I'd imagine, as would be the case if you were missing grep.
grep is just one particular tool to read text files in a very special way. Compiling journalctl on arbitrary systems will be great fun I guess.
I happen to agree that the binary format is unnecessary, but it also happens to be a discretionary power of the author, and as soon as there's a working and ubiquitous "journalctl" to parse it... and its accompanying documentations... complaining will only start flame wars.
Still don't understand why this binary format should be used on production systems before these "ubiquitous" tools are existing. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
