Attached is a new init script I wrote. It's based on the existing
init.d.Redhat and init.d.Redhat-7.3 scripts. The main deficiency I
wanted to correct was that the existing scripts do not properly
implement 'reload' by sending a HUP to the running syslog-ng. Other
than that I just tried to clean the init script up and make it
consistent with other Redhat-style init scripts.
I'm calling this script init.d.Fedora since there were already those
existing scripts. However, I believe my script should work on any
RedHat or Fedora system, so I would ask that you remove the existing
scripts.
Unless, of course, there's some functionality I'm missing in my
script.
Thanks,
P.

# syslog-ng gives you the flexibility of logging not only by facility and \
# severity, but also by host, message content, date, etc. it can also replace \
