Hi all,
I have configured duplicacy as systemd service to have recurring backups. I think all is good expect I think I am missing log lines from journalctl logs.
For example, after running the service, I have the following:
systemctl status duplicacy_backup.service
● duplicacy_backup.service - Duplicacy backup
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/duplicacy_backup.service; static; vendor pres>
Active: inactive (dead) since Thu 2019-03-21 20:56:46 EET; 2min 18s ago
Process: 27684 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/duplicacy -v -debug -log backup -stats (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 27684 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Mar 21 20:56:24 mypc duplicacy[27684]: 2019-03-21 20:56:24.653 DEBUG LIST_ENTRIES Listing home/REDACTED
So the process exited successfully (exit code 0), but the output is missing -stats summary as I would have expected.
Backup seems to be successful since duplicacy list returns the same timestamp

When I run the exact same command /usr/local/bin/duplicacy -v -debug -log backup -stats in terminal, I get the full output, ending with
2019-03-21 21:09:50.561 INFO BACKUP_STATS File chunks: 13683 total, 69,548M bytes; 6 new, 42,471K bytes, 6,612K bytes uploaded

2019-03-21 21:09:50.561 WARN BACKUP_SKIPPED 8 files were not included due to access errors
Why the log output seems to be different when running in systemd? Is there some sort of log buffering happening in the program?
The .service is as follows
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/duplicacy_backup.service
[Unit]
Description=Duplicacy backup
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/duplicacy -v -debug -log backup -stats
WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/etc/duplicacy
