I wasn't going to continue on this thread -- and after playing with the journalctl cli for much of the day -- I repent of my complaints [mostly] -- any remaining complaints are extremely minor. But I guess I should answer a direct question... perhaps a new thread should be started, this one is getting long in the tooth. Of course I understand the chicken-egg problem. However, once the system is running, there's no reason why the log data collected during the boot process couldn't then parsed into a standardized db --- resulting in standardized sql query capabilities. The boot log data should be entirely ASCII until a login prompt. This greatly assists troubleshooting of failed boots - undeniably. However, after booting, remove the ASCII boot log data from RAM via secure deletion process to increase security of the system as a whole... --Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
