Hi,
systemd has systemd.status_unit_format= / [Manager].StatusUnitFormat=
/ -Dstatus-unit-format-default= option to use unit names instead of the
Description in messages on the kernel console and in logs:
- Jun 20 22:04:48 krowka systemd[1]: Started Rule-based Manager for Device Events and
Files.
+ Jun 20 22:04:48 krowka systemd[1]: Started systemd-udevd.service.
I find this more convenient because it's briefer, so it fits better on
a terminal, but primarily because I can select&paste the unit name for
further lookup. When Description is used, and I'm not familiar with
the unit, I'll often use grep first to figure out what the unit name
actually is. Finally, unit Descriptions are often not very good, and
the name is at least as informative…
IIUC, the descriptions are not translated / localized. So perhaps
the unit file names are more meaningful for non-english speakers
too ?
Regards,
Daniel
