syslog-ng respawn attempts until pid type changed and pidfile added

[sgilmer50@…]

After 'port install' of syslog-ng, syslog-ng shows in /var/log/system.log to attempt respawning:

===
Sep  2 10:27:14 wanx2 org.macports.syslog-ng[107]: Error binding socket; addr='AF_INET(0.0.0.0:514)', error='Address already in use (48)'
Sep  2 10:27:14 wanx2 org.macports.syslog-ng[107]: Error initializing source driver; source='net', id='net#0'
Sep  2 10:27:14 wanx2 org.macports.syslog-ng[107]: Error initializing message pipeline;
Sep  2 10:27:14 wanx2 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.macports.syslog-ng): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
===

Changing /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.syslog-ng '--pid' line from 'exec' to 'fileauto' and adding '--pidfile=/opt/local/var/syslog-ng.pid' resolves the problem.
