var StartSyslog = func() {
	systemdAvail, err := utils.SystemdAvailable()
	if err != nil {
		log.Printf("Unable to decide if systemd is available: %v", err)
		return
	}
	var cmd []string
	if systemdAvail {
		cmd = []string{"systemctl", "start", "syslog"}
	} else {

	utils.RunCommand(cmd, 30*time.Second)
}

StartSyslog runs the init script to start rsyslog or BusyBox syslog. rsyslog init has the `--oknodo flag` and will reliably return 0 if already started (common/recipes-extended/rsyslog/files/initscript). However, busybox syslog returns 1 if already started, so we ignore the error from RunCommand.
