"systemctl -q is-enabled $service" prints misc. info messages on stderr despite the -q flag for legacy services

Submission type

• Bug report

systemd version the issue has been seen with

233

Used distribution

Debian

In case of bug report: Expected behaviour you didn't see

With the "-q" flag set I would not expect any output apart from actual error messages.

In case of bug report: Unexpected behaviour you saw

The following line was printed: Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install is-enabled $service

In case of bug report: Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Install squid/squid3
2. Run systemctl -q is-enabled squid
3. Take a look at the explanation given if you run it without the "-q" flag. systemctl is-enabled squid squid.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install. Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install is-enabled squid enabled

The issue seems to have been fixed by 689e4e6. Could you check again that v233 is really being used?

[KimBrodowski]

That's what I was being told on #debian. I don't have a version that recent running myself.

[KimBrodowski]

Also this is only about the line Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install is-enabled squid enabled which does not appear to be affected by the commit.

689e4e6 partially fixes -q is-enabled. systemctl still prints Executing: ...

systemd/src/systemctl/systemctl.c

Line 5915 in 6c223c6

log_info("Executing: %s", l);

fwiw, there is this old bug report for mine #3813

[mbiebl]

I guess the fix for #3813 was incomplete and the !arg_quiet condition should also be applied to the Executing... log line

[poettering]

Fix waiting in #6199.
