Description
the mythtv-backend.service (for deb) is missing a statement to prevent logging to console. Logs to console are logged to /var/log/syslog, and mythbackend syslogs are logged to /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log

ok, didn't know. The situation now (on Mythbuntu) is that loglines end up twice on disk, which is not good at all. So probably more a packaging thing than MythTV related.

I believe this has already been taken care of in the unit file which is already in the packaging repository as it now include --quiet on the mythbackend command line
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mythbackend --quiet --syslog local7 $ADDITIONAL_ARGS
Charles can you comment?

Upstream packaging committed --quiet to fix the issue, as discussed in the ubuntu bug tracker.
closing as fixed
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
There is the position that logging to syslog is the wrong way to go and that it is legacy thinking, and that instead console logging to/via journald is the way forward for systemd. However, I have no dog in the systemd discussion/fight on debian.
