[systemd-devel] [RFC][PATCH v3 2/2] journald: add support for wall forwarding

Sebastian Thorarensen sebth at naju.se
Thu Mar 13 16:38:15 PDT 2014


This will let journald forward logs as messages sent to all logged in
users (like wall).

Two options are added:
 * ForwardToWall (default yes)
 * MaxLevelWall (default emerg)
'ForwardToWall' is overridable by kernel command line option
'systemd.journald.forward_to_wall'.

This is used to emulate the traditional syslogd behaviour of sending
emergency messages to all logged in users.
