That thought too has crossed my mind. readable logs might show that, but 
we no longer have readable logs, they are all filtered by journalctl and 
I wasn't invited to that semester of how to run journalctl. That manpage 
no doubt has that data but it is buried in a wall of text that is a 
sleeping pill to read.

Thanks David
