Answering a bit late (and only this question, since I know nothing about virtualisation): It means that virtlogd is not running. It shows only the process you started, which is "grep", with "virtlog" as a parameter. As an example: $ ps -ef|grep shepherd root 1 0 0 11:37 ? 00:00:01 /gnu/store/cnfsv9ywaacyafkqdqsv2ry8f01yr7a9-guile-3.0.7/bin/guile --no-auto-compile /gnu/store/cdc1gzbp3q15kdiwn2i5j3437jwx61ac-shepherd-0.9.2/bin/shepherd --config /gnu/store/17vm5kngzkp3cvp0difp1plxm3dzp49k-shepherd.conf andreas 9255 1334 0 15:31 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto shepherd So there is one line about grep, of no interest; and one line showing that the thing I am interested in, in this case shepherd, is running.
