Hi, systemd has systemd.status_unit_format= / [Manager].StatusUnitFormat= / -Dstatus-unit-format-default= option to use unit names instead of the Description in messages on the kernel console and in logs:
- Jun 20 22:04:48 krowka systemd[1]: Started Rule-based Manager for Device Events and Files. + Jun 20 22:04:48 krowka systemd[1]: Started systemd-udevd.service. I find this more convenient because it's briefer, so it fits better on a terminal, but primarily because I can select&paste the unit name for further lookup. When Description is used, and I'm not familiar with the unit, I'll often use grep first to figure out what the unit name actually is. Finally, unit Descriptions are often not very good, and the name is at least as informative… Would people be opposed to making this the default (setting -Dstatus-unit-format-default=name in build options)? People who like the old default could set StatusUnitFormat=description in systemd.conf Zbyszek _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
