If you run Console.app you can find the output.

Kind of hard if you are ssh'ed in to the machine. Or is there some terminal-based alias of Console.app that I don't know of? 

% syslog      ( all messages )

% syslog -C ( console messages )

Interesting, this syslog command. It doesn't understand the -C flag, though. Must be some other OS.

And I have not yet understood what is the relation between the messages it shows and the contents of /var/log/system.log and the (real or virtual) console.log. What syslog shows is almost orthogonal to everything I can display with Console.app.

Syslog, for example, shows me in detail the errors that appeared in the latest softwareupdate because of programming errors of the packager, like

Software Update[4810] <Error>: Package Authoring Error: installation-check results requires a message
Software Update[4810] <Error>: JavaScript error "Undefined value" while running "__choice_su_visible"
Software Update[4810] <Error>: __choice_su_visible returned error: Undefined value

I haven't seen this elsewhere.
OTOH, the X11.app startup messages that are shown by Console.app are not shown by syslog.
