[Syslog-ng-maintainers] Bug#878974: syslog-ng-core: /etc/init.d/syslog-ng doesn't return correct value in environments using chroot.

Package: syslog-ng-core
Version: 3.8.1-10
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When syslog-ng daemon is running, following command returns 0:

    /etc/init.d/syslog-ng status

.
But the above command doesn't return correct value in environments
using chroot.

Under using chroot, syslog-ng daemons run in each chrooted environment
on their own.

Although "/etc/init.d/syslog-ng status" must return status of the daemon
in the environment, it actually returns 0 when finds at least one daemon.

I think that can be fixed the script by using "status_of_proc -p $PIDFILE"
instead of "status_of_proc".
