Using - journalctl -

[Arbol One <ArbolOne@hotmail.ca>]

Hello everyone.
I am not a Linux expert; a beginner if you ask me, but I'd like to use the command line to issue commands to the OS; yes, I'm adventurous! 😉

Having said that, I would like to keep my 'events' log showing only the last two days; as explain here, using the following command : journalctl --vacuum-time=2d. However, when I use the 'journal' command to see the log record, it shows dates as back as January-2021. Just for the record, we are in August-2024.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks folks, any help would be much appreciated.
