The logger command will send a test message to syslog. It's not supposed 
to show any screen output, but a message should show up in the file that 
you configured for syslog's "local0" facility.

No, pca will only log (successful) patch installs. That's why I 
mentioned logger to be used for testing instead.

Just follow Dagobert's advice, this should get you going.
