+
+Restarting journald is not a great idea if you can avoid it. At present
+it doesn't yet support a full reexec mode which preserves file
+descriptors which are connected to it thus some apps may lose their
+logging depending on how they are connected to it.
+
+Also I'm not sure what you mean... if I change my hostname, it's
+reflected properly in the journal.
+
+Does this not happen on your system? Perhaps some configuration probme
+with nss-myhostname (tho' not 100% that matters)?
