[syslog-ng]Syslog-ng replay script for centralized syslog data

[Dave Johnson]

You can do it many ways, one way (quick and easy):

remote nodes <every ten minutes cron>
log, bzip2 in directory "A"
run rsyncd for directory "A" 
---
central node <every ten minutes +1 minute> <or just do it every 2 mins, etc..>
run script:
1) rsync --bwlimit 9k -u get from remote node's "A"
2) bunzip2 files
3) cat file into /dev/log (or local platform's way of injecting into syslog)
