Remote syslog feeding

[Ivan Susanin]

Hello,

Firstly, let me thank to creators and developers of this cool distro - guys, you doing it right! It is very impressive! I'm take off my hat 

Recently, I was missing one vital (for me) feature - feeding logs to remote syslog server. So, this trivial patch add it.

 fi
 

To enable - append to options "rsyslog=ip.of.syslog.srv"

I would be very happy if this fix get's into Core some day!

Thank you,
Ivan

Looks good to me. Nice for a first patch

Thanks

Also, to follow your global coding style, RSYSLOG magic can be rewritten as:

[ -n "$RSYSLOG" ] && SOPTS=" -L -R $RSYSLOG "

Thanks,
Ivan

Patch accepted. Look for this in 4.4
