Oddly this is not happening on my system, the hyphen is there but job
start logging is still being performed. The run-crons script explicitly
sends information to the syslog daemon overriding the above setting, but
successful job reporting is controlled by the $SYSLOG_ON_NO_ERROR
variable. However, I have never explicitly set this myself. It looks as
if the majority of the standard SuSE scripts explicitly log their status.
