When I run the logger -p local0.info `date` command, I get nothing - just returns to the # prompt.
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.
Would there be anything in the log file if I ran pca.pl again after this, even though there are no patches that need to be installed (since I already installed them earlier)?
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. Martin.
