[logback-user] logback always printing status information?!

[Christian Migowski]

Hi,

for some reasons logback always prints out it's status/debug
information to STDOUT although I didn't ask for it, what could be the
reason for this? I have this very simple logback.xml file which path I
pass through command line parameter
-Dlogback.configurationFile=/home/u123456/bmbstatistics/conf/logback.xml
(it was created using the translator tool on the website from a log4j
properties file (which btw doesn't "transfer" the properties like
LOG_PATH, so a little manual modification was necessary)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <property name="GENERIC_PATTERN" value="[%d{dd.MM.yyyy
HH:mm:ss.SSS}]  [%t] [%-5p] [%c{2}] %m%n" />
  <property name="LOG_PATH" value="./log" />

  <appender name="FileAppender"
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
    <!--See also
http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html#RollingFileAppender-->
    <File>${LOG_PATH}/statistics.log</File>
    <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
      <Pattern>${GENERIC_PATTERN}</Pattern>
    </layout>
    <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy">
      <maxIndex>20</maxIndex>
      <FileNamePattern>${LOG_PATH}/statistics.log.%i</FileNamePattern>
    </rollingPolicy>
    <triggeringPolicy
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
      <MaxFileSize>20MB</MaxFileSize>
    </triggeringPolicy>
  </appender>
  <root level="DEBUG">
    <appender-ref ref="FileAppender"/>
  </root>
</configuration>

When I start my application with this config the following appears on stdout:

12:55:20,531 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] -

How can I disable this logging to stdout?
