[syslog-ng] Feature Request: conf.d-like folders or include statement

[Evan Rempel]

You could modify your /etc/init.d/syslog-ng script to concatenate the conf.d
files into a "master" configuration file and then start syslog-ng.

I like the feature request, but until it is implimented, my suggestion might get you by.
