I added the line (just as a test):
-altlog /tmp/sassession.log
to my sasv8.cfg.
After starting the session, running a Listing report on sashelp.class and closing the project, /tmp/sassession.log says:

This message is contained in the SAS news file, and is presented upon
initialization. Edit the files "news" in the "misc/base" directory to
display site-specific news and information in the program log.
The command line option "-nonews" will prevent this display.
NOTE: SAS initialization used:

So I only see the startup and shutdown messages.
