Comparing the output of systemctl between centos 7 and 8:
[root@mail ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core) [root@mail ~]# systemctl status firewalld ● firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Fri 2019-10-25 00:24:24 UTC; 1 months 19 days ago Docs: man:firewalld(1) Main PID: 6578 (firewalld) CGroup: /system.slice/firewalld.service └─6578 /usr/bin/python2 -Es /usr/sbin/firewalld --nofork --nopid
Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started. Log output is incomplete or unavailable. [root@mail ~]#
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)
As you can see, it is trimming the output at the end of my terminal window, which I do not care; there are options (-i I think) to make it wrap around, but the line
lines 1-9/9 (END)
is what is annoying me. That seems to be what I would expect if I piped it to less. I checked a fedora 31 and another centos 8 box and am seeing the same behaviour. Am I missing something?

The environment variable $PAGER determines what pager to use. The default is 'less'. User
export PAGER=more
to use 'more' instead. Or
export PAGER=
to not pipe to a pager.

This would also affect "man". Better to use SYSTEMD_PAGER.

That is probably a beneficial side-effect.

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 :).

You can fix the symptom with the software as delivered:
$ export SYSTEMD_LESS='-FR'

Also, there’s this bit in the default .bashrc on EL8:
# Uncomment the following line if you don't like systemctl's auto-paging feature: # export SYSTEMD_PAGER=

Thanks . I did the alias a long time that I forgot about the line you actually quote in the next email :).

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=713567 for info. It's more of the systemd-mindset disease, and Schmidt looked to be pretty intransigent in the face of concerted objection some years ago.
You either have to use: systemctl --no-pager status firewalld Or you have to first do: export SYSTEMD_PAGER=
Maybe you could put the latter into a file in /etc/profile.d to make it system-wide:
# echo 'export SYSTEMD_PAGER=' >>/etc/profile.d/systemd.sh # echo 'setenv SYSTEMD_PAGER ""' >>/etc/profile.d/systemd.csh
