[syslog-ng] [syslog-ng 3.6.1] booting with openrc, but syslog-ng thinks i boot with sytemd

[Tibor Benke]

Hi Lone_Wolf,

Please check, whether the following directory exists on your system (using
openrc):

/run/systemd/system/

We check this directory to determine whether systemd is used. This
information can help us to solve your problem.

BR,
Tibor
