What could be causing this? Hi there, Messages that go to the error log functions in directory server are also echoed to the processes stderr - on RHEL7 since this uses system, stderr is sent to the journal, which in turn then proxies to /var/log/messages. Details about this can be seen in: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html# Section "logging and standard input/output". Note the items "StandardOutput=" and "StandardError=" which default to "journal". If you want to stop this behaviour you can do: systemctl edit dirsrv@instance.service. Then add the lines: [Service] StandardError=null This is a per-server and per-service custom override, so should persist through upgrades.
