This isn't the case with all of my servers but it is for all of my servers running `Powershell 6.0.0-1.debian.9`. \r\n\r\nHere is the first log generated, as an example:  \r\n```\r\nJan 25 15:53:30 server-name powershell[18813]: (v6.0.0:7:11) [Command_Lifecycle:CommandStart.Method.Informational] Command Import-Module is Started.#012%n%nContext:%n        Severity = Informational#012        Host Name = ConsoleHost#012        Host Version = 6.0.0#012        Host ID = 183c0648-d3c2-4c60-9ba5-18204b3c9f81#012        Host Application = /opt/microsoft/powershell/6.0.0/pwsh.dll#012        Engine Version = 6.0.0#012        Runspace ID = b261234c-963d-4ab3-b814-03161505d08f#012        Pipeline ID = 1#012        Command Name = Import-Module#012        Command Type = Cmdlet#012        Script Name = #012        Command Path = #012        Sequence Number = 7#012        User = server-name\\root#012        Connected User = #012        Shell ID = Microsoft.PowerShell#012%n%nUser Data:%n%n\r\n```\r\n\r\n17 lines later it's telling me that the console is ready for use:\r\n```\r\nJan 25 15:53:31 server-name powershell[18813]: (v6.0.0:1:10) [Perftrack_ConsoleStartupStop:PowershellConsoleStartup.WinStop.Informational] PowerShell console is ready for user input\r\n```\r\nAnd then finally, 47 lines later it's done with:\r\n```\r\nJan 25 16:10:08 server-name powershell[18813]: (v6.0.0:7:11) [Command_Lifecycle:CommandStop.Method.Informational] Command PSConsoleHostReadline is Stopped.#012%n%nContext:%n        Severity = Informational#012        Host Name = ConsoleHost#012        Host Version = 6.0.0#012        Host ID = 183c0648-d3c2-4c60-9ba5-18204b3c9f81#012        Host Application = /opt/microsoft/powershell/6.0.0/pwsh.dll#012        Engine Version = 6.0.0#012        Runspace ID = b261234c-963d-4ab3-b814-03161505d08f#012        Pipeline ID = 9#012        Command Name = PSConsoleHostReadline#012        Command Type = Function#012        Script Name = #012        Command Path = #012        Sequence Number = 42#012        User = server-name\\root#012        Connected User = #012        Shell ID = Microsoft.PowerShell#012%n%nUser Data:%n%n\r\n```\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, running even a simple script would cause flooding of syslog and then worse for log servers downstream. \r\n\r\nIs this \"normal\" now, is there a way to disable this behavior or at least redirect logging to another source, for instance to one that isn't sent off for parsing by log servers?\r\n\r\nThanks!","author":{"url":"https://github.com/k1rb","@type":"Person","name":"k1rb"},"datePublished":"2018-01-26T00:16:39.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":13},"url":"https://github.com/6032/PowerShell/issues/6032"}
