When you add metalog to the startup, metalog start sending all of the information out to standard output instead of log files. Also this looks like it prevents you from logining as well. Switching the line daemon_args = -p /var/run/metalog.pid to daemon_args = -B -p /var/run/metalog.pid in /etc/initng/daemon/metalog.i fixes the issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install initng and add the proper line to you boot loader 2. add metalog to your startup 3. reboot and watch Actual Results: Metalog outputed the messages to standard output. Expected Results: Damenozied metalog.
