Description:
When using SYSLOG for logging mysqld error log information it is NOT visible in SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES;

How to repeat:
SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE '%sys%';

Suggested fix:
I would like to see the 3 syslog related parameters in the output.

mysqld (5.1 at least) does not support logging to syslog.
It's implemented in the mysqld_safe script
