After daemonize() redirects stderr to /dev/null, the existing StreamHandler
writes to /dev/null. logging.basicConfig() is a no-op when handlers are
already configured, so log messages are silently lost.
Replace the daemon block to:
1. Call daemonize() first
2. Explicitly remove existing handlers (pointing to /dev/null)
3. Add SysLogHandler pointing to /dev/log with fallback to UDP localhost:514
4. Log startup message to the new syslog handler
Removes redundant syslog.openlog() call which is no longer needed.
