README

        
Currently there is no way to natively set up journald so

that logs are pruned based on boots. For example, you may

only want to keep journals for boot -1 and -2, not caring

about logs for older boots. This is an issue orthogonal to

time-based pruning since uptime can have various lengths.

This small package simply runs a quick script on boot to

delete journal files that hold logs for boots older than a

predefined limit (MAX_BOOTS in the script).

I also logged an RFE in upstream systemd for this:
