If I understand correctly there's a scap log functionality so you can send messages to the SAL directly through the bash window without the need to go to the IRC channel and !log them. I find this does not work for the deployment-* servers though. Is is possible to enable it? It should log to the RelEng-SAL page on Wikitech. Thanks!
Sample
(maybe I am not doing it right)
maurelio@deployment-tin:~$ scap log -v test 21:55:03 test
but no !log message was triggered - there's no logmsgbot on -releng
