mythlogserver times out if there's no logging activity, that's why I
suggest looking for the "Starting mythlogserver" in the logs. It would
appear at backend startup in syslog too. The same is true for most
mythPrograms. mythshutdown is one exception I can recall. This would
work:

     mythshutdown --verbose --loglevel debug --check
