I've been getting many "syslog-ng.service start request repeated too quickly..." issues in systemd journal . The syslog-ng service would always fail. I noticed there seems to be a bug in which systemd executes syslog-ng with the "-n" flag. I recently posted the bug here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61324 After modifying lib/gprocess.c to accept "-n" in place of "-F", recompiling, and reinstalling, the problem has disappeared and the syslog-ng process remains up. Is this a systemd bug? I have been googling for 2 days to see if it relates to any other bugs and have found nothing. I just started using systemd 4 days ago and its my impression that syslog-ng has supported systemd for some time. So, could there be something on my end causing the issue?
