The only difference is the console output is suppressed in the '- logdest syslog' case. In the ' -logdest console' invocation, output to log file is surpressed before and after the fix, so even without the fix, user could as easily suppress log file output as with fix. Change By: Sean Griffin Release Notes Summary: 'puppet agent --verbose' used to generate log output to both console and syslog (or eventlog on Windows).  When this option added to the command line '--logdest syslog', log output was still sent to both the console and  syslog (evenlog).  Now adding '--logdest syslog' causes logging to be delivered only to syslog (eventlog) and not to the console. Before (and now) using the option '--logdest console' would prevent the log output from going to the syslog (eventlog).
