Package: systemd
Version: 231-5
Severity: minor
Dear Martin, dear Michael, dear Systemd maintainers,
systemctl status for a long time just printed the status directly onto the
terminal (Konsole in my case). But since also quite a while it uses less on
my system, even tough the output is not larger than one page.
Also the color escape sequences are not executed by less, leavinge me with
something like:
^[[0;1;32m●^[[0m atopacct.service - Atop process accounting daemon
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/atopacct.service; enabled; vendor
preset: enabled)

I am fine with piping longer listings like "systemctl" or "systemctl status"
output through less.
I am aware I can disable piping through less on an ad-hoc at least by adding
"| cat" to the command line. At it seems I can also alias "systemctl" to
"systemctl --no-pager"¹. And I bet it was upstream making piping through less
unconditional.
But still even with piping through it would at least be nice if it applies
escape sequences.
Anyway for myself I think I will just system-globally alias systemctl back to
more sanity than using less for half a page of output.
[1] Bug 713567 - Output of 'systemctl --all' pipes through 'less' by default
