[syslog-ng] [PATCH] autocreate fifo

[Peter Warasin]

Hi list

If you define a pipe as log destination, the pipe must exist before 
syslog starts, otherwise syslog logs that it cannot write to the pipe.

That should be fine normally, but if *all* messages go to that pipe 
syslog will cause a log-loop with those error messages.

The attached patch creates the fifo automatically.

kind regards
peter
