How to tell journald to re-read its configuration?
To control running services with systemd, use the systemctl
utility. This utility is similar to the service
utility provided by SysVinit and Upstart. Among others:
systemctl status systemd-journald
indicates whether the service is running and additional information if it is.systemctl start systemd-journald
starts the service (systemd unit).systemctl stop systemd-journald
stops the service.systemctl restart systemd-journald
restarts the service.systemctl reload systemd-journald
reloads the service's configuration if possible, but will not kill it (so no risk of a service interruption or of disrupting processing in progress, but the service may keep running with a stale configuration).systemctl force-reload systemd-journald
reloads the service's configuration if possible, and if not restarts the service (so the service is guaranteed to use the current configuration, but this may interrupt something).systemctl daemon-reload
reloads systemd's own configuration.
systemctl restart systemd-journald
does the trick.
I'm answering it myself as googling it does not return any useful page.
