You can already do "journalctl --since @4711" to refer to Unix time 4711 (seconds past 1970, jan)... That is not documented currently, though, but we really should... Oh, wait, it actually *is* documented. Quoting systemd.time(7): ... Finally, a timespan prefixed with "@" is evaluated relative to the UNIX time epoch 1st Jan, 1970, 00:00 ... Do you need more than that? uh, okay, so if journalctl --since/--until accepts full range of possibilities documented in systemd.time then I guess it would be better to just refer to it in the current form, when the journalctl manpage describes only some subset, I got under the impression that only this subset is supported ... This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. systemd-222-8.fc23.x86_64
man journalctl
...
--since=, --until=
Start showing entries on or newer than the specified date, or on or
older than the specified date, respectively. Date specifications
should be of the format "2012-10-30 18:17:16". If the time part is
omitted, "00:00:00" is assumed. If only the seconds component is
omitted, ":00" is assumed. If the date component is omitted, the
current day is assumed. Alternatively the strings "yesterday",
"today", "tomorrow" are understood, which refer to 00:00:00 of the day
before the current day, the current day, or the day after the current
day, respectively. "now" refers to the current time. Finally,
relative times may be specified, prefixed with "-" or "+", referring
to times before or after the current time, respectively.

(In reply to Jan Synacek from comment #6) > https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/1830 well, I believe when refering to the full specification, the excerpt here could be shortened, but thanks anyways, definitely it's an improvement for someone not familiar with systemd (see above, even Lennart himself needed second try to realise :-)) systemd-222-9.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-76fc543765 systemd-222-10.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-76fc543765 systemd-222-10.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with $ su -c 'dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing update systemd' You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-76fc543765 systemd-222-10.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 stable repository.
