Subject: [PATCH] journalctl: make sure 'journalctl -f -t unmatched' blocks
1abbee
1abbee
Previously the following command:
1abbee
1abbee
$ journalctl -f -t unmatchedtag12345
1abbee
1abbee
... would block when called with criteria that did not match any
1abbee
journal lines. Once log lines appeared that matched the criteria
1abbee
they were displayed.
1abbee
1abbee
Commit 02ab86c732576a71179ce12e97d44c289833236d broke this
1abbee
behavior and the journal was not followed, but the command
1abbee
exits with '-- No entries --' displayed.
1abbee
1abbee
This commit fixes the issue.
