journalctl: Show all messages by a specific executable.
$ journalctl ${path-to-executable}
try on your machine
The command "journalctl ${path-to-executable}" is used to view the journal entries related to a specific executable file.
Here's a breakdown of the command structure:
-
"journalctl" is the command itself. It is used to query and view the logs and journal entries managed by systemd's logging service.
-
"${path-to-executable}" is a placeholder for the actual path or name of the executable file that you want to inspect. You need to replace "${path-to-executable}" with the actual path to the executable file.
By executing this command, journalctl will display all the log entries related to the specified executable file. This can include error messages, debugging information, and other activities logged by the executable during its execution.
