Subject: [PATCH] journalctl: Periodically call sd_journal_process in
40a46b
 journalctl
40a46b
40a46b
If `journalctl` take a long time to process messages, and during that
40a46b
time journal file rotation occurs, a `journalctl` client will keep
40a46b
those rotated files open until it calls `sd_journal_process()`, which
40a46b
typically happens as a result of calling `sd_journal_wait()` below in
40a46b
the "following" case.  By periodically calling `sd_journal_process()`
40a46b
during the processing loop we shrink the window of time a client
40a46b
instance has open file descriptors for rotated (deleted) journal
40a46b
files.

(Lennart: slightly reworked version, that dropped some of the commenting
40a46b
which was solved otherwise)
