19 Run a syntax check on the config file, I don't have a man page to hand
20 but it's quite obvious what the option is.
21 syslog-ng has sometimes been picky about version numbers in the past and
22 it's tagged in the config file. Read the syntax check output carefully
23 to see if anything is amiss.
