Thanks a lot, Mantas.

This option was added with util-linux v2.25 in 2014. If you're using an older 
version or the Busybox `logger` instead, well, it won't have that.

The alternative is to write your own C tool that uses libsystemd and calls 
sd_journal_send<https://manpages.debian.org/testing/libsystemd-dev/sd_journal_send.3.en.html>()
 with the correct fields (libsystemd is definitely going to be present), or a 
Python tool that uses systemd.journal.send(). (Or maybe call libsystemd through 
python ctypes or whatever other FFI mechanism is available.)

But in my sytem, logger does not have "--journal".
Are you aware of other tools from bash which can be used?

If you have root privileges (i.e. UID 0), then yes, you can send a journal 
message with the "OBJECT_SYSTEMD_UNIT=myservice.service" field and journalctl 
will automatically look for that.

In C, specify the field when calling sd_journal_sendv(); in bash you can use 
`logger --journal`:

(echo "OBJECT_SYSTEMD_UNIT=sshd.service";
 echo "MESSAGE=Hello world!") | sudo logger --journal

Saying we have a systemd unit named "myservice".

we can use journalctl -u myservice to inspect the logs generated by myservice.


But is there a way to insert one string from command-line into myservice's 
journal so that it can be seen by journalctl -u myservice later?
