Comparing the output of systemctl between centos 7 and 8:

So far so good. Don't know why it is complaining about log being rotated but output looks readable. Now, let's grab a centos8 box:
[raub@vmhost2 ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 8.0.1905 (Core) [raub@vmhost2 ~]$ systemctl status firewalld ● firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; enabled; vendor p> Active: active (running) since Tue 2019-12-10 20:10:20 EST; 2 days ago Docs: man:firewalld(1) Main PID: 1031 (firewalld) Tasks: 2 (limit: 26213) Memory: 33.5M CGroup: /system.slice/firewalld.service └─1031 /usr/libexec/platform-python -s /usr/sbin/firewalld --nofork > lines 1-9/9 (END)
It seems this became the default at some point.
systemctl -l --no-pager
is the way to get it without that. The whole does it use a pager, does it ellipse, etc has been a long fight where various people complain enough to get it one way or another. It usually goes with the group that complains the nicest versus the ones who complain the worst :).
