You could tell me a clue _where_ I could write this message? syslog-ng is running in the background with no stderr or stdout. It has nothing to write to except for its logfiles.
As I see Apache has a configtest mode which is ran prior to sending a signal to the daemon, and although this can be done with syslog-ng as well, the configuration can be broken even if it's syntactically correct.
Doesn't Squid (or something) come with a testcfg program or similar that checks and verifies its configuration file? Perhaps syslog-ng could benefit from a separate syntax checker / lint program for the configuration file?
