[syslog-ng] Running script for checking syslog-ng status

[Henry Xu]

Hi All,
	Yes, the "supervising syslog-ng" process starts by default.
	I did tests and killed the syslog-ng process when the supervising
process is running. But seems it didn't work.The new syslog-ng process
didn't start, and the supervising process stopped as well.
	What's wrong?

Best,
Henry

You are correct.
