Draft: logger: Don't output to terminal if told to use Journal exclusively

Simon McVittie requested to merge wip/task466-more into main
  • !719 (merged)

  • logger: Don't output to terminal if told to use Journal exclusively

    This makes the behaviour of:

      SRT_LOG=journal srt-logger -d ~/tmp -- s-r-something

    consistent with:

      SRT_LOG=journal s-r-something

    when run from a terminal, and similar for SRT_LOG_TO_JOURNAL=1.

    However, it also causes

      SRT_LOG=journal srt-logger -d ~/tmp -- some-unrelated-game

    to supress output to the terminal, which might be unexpected.

/cc @refi64 @denittis

I'm not convinced we actually want this change... but if we do, this is how it could be implemented.
