Hi,

Are you sure they were not in BOTH places? Most systems will send certain
levels of messages to multiple places at the same time. In other words if
PostgreSQL sends a WARNING message and your syslog is setup to send WARNINGs
to the console, then they will get sent to both your log file and the
console.

Hope it helps.
