[syslog-ng] Destination program behavior

Thank for the information. The script didn't work at first, at least
under SuSE 10 with the native syslog-ng version 1.6.8

I compile and tried with version 2.0.9, and it work. :)

I do have one more question for you. For now, I cannot replace the
current syslog-ng V1.6.8. Can I run a second instance
of syslog-ng, in this case version 2.0.9. The second one will have a
different configuration file, and basically only run
my destination program rule.

Thanks again
