Steps To Reproduce:

Hide

mongod --version --logpath /var/log/mongod/mongod.log
mongod --help --logpath /var/log/mongod/mongod.log

With logpath configured in /etc/mongod.conf:
mongod --version --config /etc/mongod.conf
mongod --help --config /etc/mongod.conf

Show
mongod --version --logpath /var/log/mongod/mongod.log mongod --help --logpath /var/log/mongod/mongod.log With logpath configured in /etc/mongod.conf: mongod --version --config /etc/mongod.conf mongod --help --config /etc/mongod.conf

These command line calls should print version or help info instead of writing it to the log file.

mongod --version --logpath /var/log/mongod/mongod.log
mongod --help --logpath /var/log/mongod/mongod.log

(or with logpath configured in /etc/mongod.conf)

mongod --version --config /etc/mongod.conf
mongod --help --config /etc/mongod.conf
