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

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

[John Covici]

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.
