ZNC went down last week. Luckily people knew to contact me so I could log in and bring it back. As far as I can tell, it should have come back up; the word "enabled" on the Loaded line tells me that. ``` ircbouncer@chives:~$ systemctl --user status znc ● znc.service - ZNC IRC bouncer service Loaded: loaded (/home/ircbouncer/.config/systemd/user/znc.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Fri 2020-02-21 14:51:10 UTC; 1 weeks 0 days ago Main PID: 32354 (znc) CGroup: /user.slice/user-1579.slice/user@1579.service/znc.service └─32354 /usr/bin/znc --foreground ``` I think I should be able to do the following in order to access ZNC's logs myself, but can't. I do not know enough about systemd to know if I'm making a silly mistake/assumption or otherwise missing something obvious. ``` # This is how I'd normally do it on my own servers, but as root. # Not surprised this doesn't work ircbouncer@chives:~$ journalctl -eu znc.service Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system. Users in the 'systemd-journal' group can see all messages. Pass -q to turn off this notice. No journal files were opened due to insufficient permissions. # But after a skim of the man page, I would assume something like # the following commands to work. None of them do. # They all output the same as above. ircbouncer@chives:~$ journalctl --user-unit znc ircbouncer@chives:~$ journalctl --user ircbouncer@chives:~$ journalctl --user --user-unit znc ``` Here is the znc.service file ``` [Unit] Description=ZNC IRC bouncer service [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/bin/znc --foreground [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` Maybe it needs to depend on networking to be up already? I'm at a loss and have no logs to help me.
