[syslog-ng]Syslog-ng on Boot

[todd glassey]

Still its important in automating the operations and startup of the system
to instrument some form of heart beat. I cant tell you the number of times
that a service level heart beat has told me a server is down and the Host's
Stack is still up so PING and other ICMP queries all return as alive...

very frustrating.
