# The default syslog implementation should make syslog.service a

# symlink to itself, so that this socket activates the right actual

# syslog service.

#

# Examples:

#

# /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service -> /lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service

# /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service -> /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service

#

# Best way to achieve that is by adding this to your unit file

# (i.e. to rsyslog.service or syslog-ng.service):

#

# [Install]

# Alias=syslog.service
