[syslog-ng] unix-stream: ignore non-existent pipe

[Peter Czanik (pczanik)]

Hi,

If you use a recent enough syslog-ng (3.6+ or 3.7+) then the system() source automatically detects if your system has /dev/log or journal and collects logs accordingly.

Sorry for the inaccuracy. The source driver in my case.

I would like to make a generic config for systems with and without systemd.
"unix-dgram ("/run/systemd/journal/dev-log");" should be added to "source sys"
but this absent without systemd and cause error.
