Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Waldbieser, Carl" <>]

I have a number of command line scripts written using Jython where I import 
various Grouper objects.
One issue I have never solved is that as soon as I create a root session 
object 
(`edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.GrouperSession.startRootSession()`), a 
long preamble is printed to standard output:

    Grouper starting up: version: 2.2.2, build date: null, env: <no label 
configured>
    grouper.properties read from: 
/var/opt/internet2/grouper/grouper.apiBinary/conf/grouper.properties
    Grouper current directory is: /var/opt/internet2/grouper/grouper.apiBinary
    log4j.properties read from:   
/var/opt/internet2/grouper/grouper.apiBinary/conf/log4j.properties
    Grouper is logging to file:   
/var/opt/internet2/grouper/grouper.apiBinary/logs/grouper_error.log, at min 
level WARN for package: edu.internet2.middleware.grouper, based on 
log4j.properties
    grouper.hibernate.properties: 
/var/opt/internet2/grouper/grouper.apiBinary/conf/grouper.hibernate.properties
    grouper.hibernate.properties: null@null
    sources.xml read from:        
/var/opt/internet2/grouper/grouper.apiBinary/conf/sources.xml
    sources.xml groupersource id: g:gsa
    sources.xml ldap source id:   ldap: /etc/grouper/ldap.local.properties
    sources.xml groupersource id: grouperEntities
    sources.xml jdbc source id:   jdbc: GrouperJdbcConnectionProvider

I've tried fiddling with the log4j settings, but I can't seem to suppress 
these lines.  This is particularly annoying if I am trying to use the output 
in a shell pipeline.  Is there a way to suppress this output?

Thanks,
