They should have just offered a way to make it write text log files. I have a prototype FUSE filesystem which renders the journal as a tree of .log files (https://github.com/awfulcooking/journalfs) But my muscles finally learned `journalctl` and after reading the docs I mainly use it. Patches welcome to make journalfs practical (i think it may be lagging output when you `tail -f` atm) Would love to see systemd offer a virtual filesystem interface by default.
In “Support for System V scripts now deprecated; will be removed in future release”
