We have a bunch a log files that are written directly to files by applications that cannot write to syslog directly using syscall syslog().

These files are not seen by the syslog-ng daemon at all, and what I'm trying to do is actually to tail them by the syslog-ng daemon 
so it can tag them and write them into the /dev/log sock, so that the thread listening to /dev/log (in source s_local with system())
receives the external applications logs the same way applications writing directly to syslog do.
I have a filtering pipeline in my syslog-ng setup, then I write some logs locally and I send most of them to a remote loghost: I don't
want to write as many log paths sending directly logs to the remote loghost as I have the external applications.

Is it clearer that way?
