I have just started to learn journald and in its main function (in journald.c) I encountered a function call "log_set_prohibit_ipc(true);" In systemd source, I can see the declaration in src/basic/log.h:/*
If turned on, then we'll never use IPC-based logging, * i.e. never log to syslog or the journal. We'll only * log to stderr, the console or kmsg */void log_set_prohibit_ipc(bool b); I did not get this because Journald not writing to journal itself by default is strange, isn't it? What is the reason behind it? Nishant
