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 Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: tony at softins.co.uk - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: tony at mountifield.org - http://tony.mountifield.org
