[syslog-ng] systemd syslog-ng does not start CentOS 7.2.1511

[Scheidler, Balázs]

-F specifies that syslog-ng should stay in the foreground.

I assumed that it was needed for systemd. You could try --process-mode
background

That causes syslog-ng to go to the  background but without its own
supervisor.
