Subject: [PATCH] journalctl: make sure 'journalctl -f -t unmatched' blocks
803fb7
803fb7
Previously the following command:
803fb7
803fb7
$ journalctl -f -t unmatchedtag12345
803fb7
803fb7
... would block when called with criteria that did not match any
803fb7
journal lines. Once log lines appeared that matched the criteria
803fb7
they were displayed.
803fb7
803fb7
Commit 02ab86c732576a71179ce12e97d44c289833236d broke this
803fb7
behavior and the journal was not followed, but the command
803fb7
exits with '-- No entries --' displayed.
803fb7
803fb7
This commit fixes the issue.
