Permission denied for reflector.service

I have followed arch wiki for reflector service, edited the /etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf file:

--save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
--protocol https
--latest 10
--sort rate

After that I have started the reflector.service but I get error message.

sudo journalctl -xeu reflector.service

returns

I don't know where I am doing wrong?

Re: Permission denied for reflector.service

I guess you want to use systemctl... not journalctl
