Hi :)
Shepherd does not seem to support UTF-8 output (Japanese in my case) in
the log output. I noticed the issue with timers, but can be reproduced
with transient as well:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ herd spawn transient -- $(which sh) -c 'echo "猫"'
Spawning transient service for ("/run/current-system/profile/bin/sh" "-c" "echo
\"???\"").
Service user-homes has been started.
Starting service transient-252...
Service transient-252 started.
Service transient-252 running with value #<<process> id: 1314 command:
("/run/current-system/profile/bin/sh" "-c" "echo \"???\"")>.
Service transient-252 has been started.
$ tail -f /var/log/messages

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Notice the `???' in output from both commands. Neither the `herd spawn'
output nor the /var/log/message contain correct Japanese character.
Have a nice day,
Tomas
