   Oh, I can use fine journalctl.   
   When I report on bugzilla I use that.   
      
   However, I do have problems with eliminating from the log the hugely verbose   
   news facility, mail facility, and authpriv. With the concoction I have, some   
   parts disappear, because they are not assigned any facility.   
      
      
    From one of my bugzillas:   
      
   journalctl --boot=-2 --facility=kern,user,daemon,auth,syslog,lpr   
   uucp,cron,authpriv,ftp,12,13,14,15,local0,local1,local2,local3,l   
   cal4,local5,local6,local7 > journal_purged   
      
      
   However, notice that several megabytes of messages like this:   
      
         Feb 18 12:17:58 Telcontar sddm[2599]: Initializing...   
      
   are also missing. They are facility 1, should not be removed. I know they are   
   fac 1 by comparison with syslog:   
      
       <1.4> 2025-02-24T01:03:30.963177+01:00 Telcontar sddm 2599 - -  Signal   
   received: SIGTERM   
        *..... I print the  numbers.   
      
   If you need those messages in the log, please advise how to remove mail and   
   news messages from the journal. Grep doesn't work because news messages are   
   multiline.
