How is slony being started?
Is the startup script redirecting the output of slon somewhere (to a 
logfile, or /dev/null ?)
One option might be to restart slon so that it redirects its output to a 
logfile that you can then view.
Are you using a slon.conf ? If so does it specify a destination for logs?
