[systemd-devel] Systemd debugging option, documentation clarification

1: It would be useful for debugging if systemctl had an option to show
output on the screen (especially output from scripts run under
systemd), rather than dumping it in a journal which you then have to
search through.  This should be a command-line option, because you
would normally use it only for debugging, not for a normal boot. I
don't know how practicable this would be, but it would be useful.

2 :  the man page for systemd-journalctl  (at least on Open SUSE 12.2)
mentions that you can filter journal contents using FIELD=value, but
(except for one example) it
doesn't indicate what the field identifiers are or where they are
defined.  It would
make the journal a lot more usable if it was clear where to find this
information.

I hope that this is helpful.
