How to receive feedback from systemctl?

  • 772

I am missing a bit of feedback from systemd commands. After issuing a

systemctl restart my_service

there is no output and to receive confirmation if my_service is started, I need type

systemctl status my_service

Is there a way to have at least a line explaing what systemd did, and maybe also if service failed to start or was successful?

systemd

  1. You can use a combination of commands and launch something like:

    $ systemctl start my_service && journalctl -feu my_service

    You get the last log lines for my_service and you need to press Ctrl+C for exiting.

    I know, you asked for one command not two, sorry. But you can build your own command to wrap the two.
