What problem does it solve?

Quickly access recent systemd journal entries for a specific service to speed up debugging, incident triage, and runtime diagnostics without manually constructing journalctl commands.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Service-filtered log viewing: Display recent journal logs for a named systemd unit with control over the number of lines shown.
  • Real-time following: Attach to a service's live log stream to monitor events as they occur during testing or incident response.
  • Use Case: Inspect the last 50 lines of a crashed web service and follow new logs while reproducing the failure to capture relevant errors.

Quick Start

Run the log-tail command with the unit name to show the last 50 lines and add --follow to stream new entries in real time.
