This is the second time in this thread that you criticize journald and
I don't understand why.
1) If you're using systemd as pid 1, you can configure journald to
forward all logs to rsyslog and not to store any logs in
"/var/log/journal/". So you'll have all the usual logs in "/var/log/"
(and only in "/var/log/") and you can read and process them as you've
been doing for years.
2) journald nrgins with it a new tool, journalctl, to read logs. Using
a new tool means that you have to learn some new skills and methods.
If you want to isolate the logs of the last boot sequence, you can run
"journalctl -b -1".
If you want to check whether your your system shut down because it was
overheating (as someone needed to on fedora-users recently), you can
run "journalctl _KERNEL_SUBSYSTEM=thermal".
Or you can run journalctl and grep your way to happiness.
