[syslog-ng] Creating a named pipe (FIFO)

We create our pipes by placing the appropriate commands in the syslog-ng startup file (/etc/init.d/syslog-ng). [Actually, we test to see if the pipe already exists; if not, we create it. We do this creation in /var/run and here the pipe needs to be recreated after every boot. We don't want to recreate it when we restart the process (syslog-ng) that is feeding it, since recreating it requires us to bounce the process that is reading from it (fisq.pl)].
