Description

I was just wondering if there is a way to send the output of a bash script, as specified in the "cmd" field in the config file, to journalctl, under the amazon-dash _SYSTEMD_UNIT

I do have it working with the logger command, but then journalctl -r -u amazon-dash doesn't show them. They instead show up by running just journalctl

I think it's not possible, I'm sorry: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/170469/how-to-direct-the-journal-output-of-certain-units-to-a-particular-file

But you can use rsyslog and then write to files (on the same or another machine).

Sorry for the delay!
