After upgrading systemd 208 -> 212, every single cron job creates

Can I quiet this down somehow?

The idea with the journal is that we log everything that happens on the
system, without exceptions, without hiding anything. And filtering is
then applied when you view things, based on the big pool of data you
have. This can be annoying, of course, but I am so very sure we should't
suppress these things, because soemtimes they are useful to know about.

journalctl has powerful filtering capabilities, we have them to make
this huge datase palatable...


I'm actually all for getting the upstream i.e. cron/PAM acting more sane so we don't even arrive at the "logging huge amounts of low-effectiveness information" problem, but as you wrote in your other reply, that might be a whole separate project.

In the meantime mgilbert's suggestion for using loginctl --linger parameter seems to accomplish the goal of quieting cron logging. Any side effects to consider?
