Thanks Gary.  Okay, I think I sorta get it now.  There's a convoluted 
way to use switches get journalctl to display only certain outputs, like 
CMD.  However, it's possible to simply use grep.  I also didn't realize 
that journalctl starts it's own "less" -like window, and doesn't need 
"less" piped in.

I have a feeling that I've discovered about 1% of what this command can 
do.  For now I have it working somewhat.
