Description Zing 2016-08-31 20:39:22 UTC

Description of problem:
The output from -n and -U/-S when used together are not working.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-229-13.fc24.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:

$ journalctl -n -S today
outputs messages starting from the beginning of the day, should output most recent messages like -n alone would do.

$ journalctl -n -U today
outputs nothing (just the journalctl initial log header), should output the last 10 messages dated yesterday.

$ journalctl -n -S yesterday -U today
outputs 10 messages starting yesterday, should output the last 10 messages dated yesterday

Looking at the code, it's not even supposed to work like that... Having said that, I don't consider this a bug. If you really want this implemented, please consider filing an upstream issue.
