  • [gentoo-user] all syslog entries from fcron appear on console

    From John Covici@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jun 17 13:00:02 2022
    Hi. I am using fcron and latest version of systemd 251.1 and what is happening is that all syslog entries from fcron are appearing on
    whatever console I am using which is quite annoying.

    I tried to put a drop in in /etc/systemd/system/fcron.d/00-fixlog.conf
    which says
    [service]
    StandardOutput=syslog
    StandardError=syslog

    and did a deamon-reload and restarted fcron, but no joy.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Well, I found out that systemd is very sensitive to the case of the
    keywords -- I had service instead of Service and it was silently
    ignored -- hate that. I don't know why it started, but putting
    Standardoutput to syslog seems to have fixed it.
