[systemd-devel] Q; syslog.socket dependency

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi!

I have a unit that uses logger, and I want to run it after syslog is available. So I added syslog.socket as dependency, but it fails:
Mar 11 12:11:02 jeos1 systemd[1]: syslog.socket: Socket service syslog.service not loaded, refusing.
Mar 11 12:11:02 jeos1 systemd[1]: Failed to listen on Syslog Socket.

Doesn't journald also "provide" syslog.socket?

Manual says:
       syslog.socket
           The socket unit syslog implementations should listen on. All
           userspace log messages will be made available on this socket. For
           more information about syslog integration, please consult the
           Syslog Interface[2] document.

Regards,
Ulrich
