Just noting: All the other .pm-files in PVE/Service have the executable 
flag set.

Like this, the whole replication log ends up in syslog.

Won't the loop drift away from the minute boundary over time? The rest 
of the loop takes time to execute, which pushes in the positive 
direction, while the fact that the accuracy when interrupted is only 
whole seconds pushes in the negative direction. But we can't really rely 
on those to cancel each other out.
