In my application, I have the following code:
def ifdown(iface):
rc = subprocess.run(['/sbin/ifdown', iface]).returncode
if rc:
print(f'ifdown({iface}) returned {rc}')
return False
return True
This application is run as a systemd service, the issue is when I call this function, the subprocess output is doubled in journalctl -e -u <my_service>:

I would like the output to be visible in real time, but only once. I don't care whether it will be attributed to parent or child process. How can I do it?
