# systemd-cat

> Connect a pipeline or program's output streams with the systemd journal.
> More information: <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-cat.html>.

- Write the output of the specified command to the journal (both output streams are captured):

`systemd-cat {{command}}`

- Write the output of a pipeline to the journal (`stderr` stays connected to the terminal):

`{{command}} | systemd-cat`
