I use 'syslogd' to have all /var/log/messages to VM thru port UDP
514 on the vm side.

You can use hcp or vmcp to issue a CP MSG command. Or you can check out
the NJE/IP bridge sold by BSI, which would give you NJE connectivity to
RSCS from Linux guests and allow you to treat the Linux guests as normal
NJE nodes and send/recv messages via that method.
As a tweak to your idea, I'd suggest you do it as an init script
'zzzz9999' that you insert into the normal runlevel processing via
insserv or chkconfig rather than in /etc/rc.local -- that way you'll
know that all the services got started as well, and you won't have to
worry about carrying mods to /etc/rc.local forward when you upgrade the
linux instance.
