Description of problem:
In order to avoid cluttering /var/log/messages with periodical messages from sensord, I have configured /etc/syslog.conf (according to the sensord man page) as follows :

*.info;...;local4.none;local4.warn  /var/log/messages
local4.info                        -/var/log/sensors
local4.alert                        /dev/console
local4.alert                        *

Unfortunatly, this configuration generates errors in /var/log/messages :

May 29 16:53:30 localhost rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="8.4.2" x-pid="11019" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] start

I had to correct /etc/syslog.conf as follows to get a ?correct? rsyslog restart :

I run the sensord.service by :
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/sensord -i $INTERVAL -l $LOG_INTERVAL -f local4

But I still receive the sensord output (info level) in /var/log/messages and a /var/log/sensors is filled with the same contents.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rsyslog-8.4.2-6.mga5

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.run rsyslog with the above configuration
2.run sensord with the above configuration
3.
