[syslog-ng]syslog-ng

Dave thanks for the response
However, I am not sure where to put the path to my syslog-ng.conf file.

Below is a copy of my startup script.

1) Does "init.d script" come before #!/bin/bash?
2) before the first case statement modify "RETVAL-0"  to be "RETVAL=3D0"
3) in the lines that have "/usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng"  add the "-f"
option and give
    the config file location on your system; because by default its
trying to find it
    "/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf"  and its not there.
