What exactly do you mean by "quit"? Did the syslogd process
exit? If so, it should have logged why it exited (unless it's

Ah, so the process is still there. Does it consume any CPU?
What is the last line that have been logged? What happens
when you type this command:
logger -i -p kern.emerg -t test "It's alive!"
