LinuxQuestions.org - Can't access full journalctl from script via systemd service even though user is in systemd-journal group

This might be stupid but here we go.

I am user A on a server and I've added myself to the systemd-journal group and I have a bash script which includes the line

Code:

journalctl --since yesterday > output

Since I've added myself to the systemd-journal group it works as expected when running the script from directly the shell via ./bashscript and I get all info I want from journalctl into the output file.

Now I want to automate the execution of the script so I create a systemd service in /home/A/.config/systemd/user looking like

Code:

[Unit]

Description=bashscript service

After=network.target



[Service]

Type=oneshot

ExecStart=/home/A/bashscript

TimeoutStartSec=1min30s

and an associated timer

Code:

[Unit]

Description= bashscript timeer



[Timer]

OnCalendar=*-*-* 05:55:55

Unit=script.service



[Install]

WantedBy=default.target

Then I enable it via

Code:

systemctl --user enable script.timer

.. and wait a while.

It turns out that it works but with one error. If I look at the journal at the time the timer executes the script I see the following:

Code:

Feb 18 05:56:23 machine script[18959]: Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system.

Feb 18 05:56:23 machine script[18959]: Users in the 'systemd-journal' group can see all messages. Pass -q to

Feb 18 05:56:23 machine script[18959]: turn off this notice.

but I want all systeminfo from journalctl like when I execute the script manually. Shouldn't it be enough that user A is in that group?

Any ideas how to fix this?
