How to read journal from a user defined unit #169
Description
It is not clear to me how to read journal entries for user defined units. Adding the journal.CURRENT_USER flag does not work in this case. I believe there may be a difference between journal entries for a user and journal entries for user defined units.
I am looking for the equivalent to this command:
journalctl --user-unit foobar.service
