Would this stutter whenever $service_name equals $process_name? For
example local/local, qmgr/qmgr, smtp/smtp, lmtp/lmtp, cleanup/cleanup,
virtual/virtual, spawn/spawn? It would be consistent, but not pretty.
We could try to eliminate stutter by making the global default a little
more complex:
syslog_name=${
multi_instance_name?{$multi_instance_name}:{postfix}
}${
{$service_name}!={$process_name}?{/$service_name}:{}
}
Unfortunately, syslog_name has the wrong name, It is a name prefix.
