Hmm, you should at least be seeing results for:

mylog('info', 'starting');

and

mylog('info', 'terminating (EOF)');

when you don't include -d.  I would suggest going through the code and changing

mylog('debug', whatever)

to

mylog('info', whatever)

for every message you want to receive (and not using -d)
