I ran that as a script on a machine where the logs are properly updated: |

64 |
+ rc-service -v syslogd status |
65 |
* rc-service: service `syslogd' does not exist |
66 |
+ rc-service -v sysklogd status |
67 |
* Executing: /lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh |
68 |
/etc/init.d/sysklogd status |
69 |
* status: started |
70 |
+ rc-update -s -v |
71 |

72 |
