Ahoi!

I have a small question about AIDE's logging mechanisms.

When the check via systemctl status aidecheck.timer runs at 5:00 a.m., I 
see the following entries in the syslog:

---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<
Mar 05 05:00:08 pml010074 systemd[1]: Started Aide Check.

But when I start the check manually, I only see this as console output:

Why is the part “The attributes of the (uncompressed) database(s):” 
output twice in the timer-controlled check?
Am I doing something wrong in the configuration or am I misunderstanding 
something?
