Hi Jon,

That really depends on the process.  Not all applications log messages using
the standard syslog and then not all applications log ;)

If it was just some random program that does no logging of its own, then you
aren't going to know if it had problems unless you have something else
monitoring it (process accounting?  strace?  etc...)
