First, no reason to worry!

No shutdowns! Or have you actually observed them yourself? I mean have
you been sitting at the console watching the machine go down?

This is just a "still-alive" message from syslogd. You can safely ignore
it (or stop it by specifying "mark.none" for /var/log/messages).

This is just produced by a daily script that trims the logs. To do this
you have to stop syslogd/klogd, trim the logs, then restart both. If you
trimmed the logs while the two daemons are still running they wouldn't be
able to create/append to the logs anymore.
Again: I don't think there is a reason to be alarmed.
