[syslog-ng] checking configuration file syntax

[Fegan, Joe]

I use the following syntax successfully on 2.0.7:

# syslog-ng --syntax-only --cfgfile=file-to-check

It returns exit code 0 if everything is ok, something else otherwise.

Hello all!

I'm trying to automate configuration file syntax checking and can't
figure out how I can do it. According to manual -s option should perform
syntax checking. I'm trying following:

syslog-ng -s -f file-to-check

It always exits with zero status and never outputs anything, regardless
of correct configuration file or it contains errors. Is there something
I missed? I tested it on 2.0.9 and on premium edition 2.1.11a.
