Bug#1050448: Error monitoring rsyslog because of unavailable systemctl

[Klaus Ethgen]

Package: monit
Version: 1:5.33.0-2
Severity: normal

After dpkg run, monit complines about a nonexisting /usr/bin/systemctl.

Starting daemon monitor: monit/etc/monit/conf-enabled/rsyslog:4: Program does not exist: '/usr/bin/systemctl'
/etc/monit/conf-enabled/rsyslog:5: Program does not exist: '/usr/bin/systemctl'

Please use the common used and always available command `service`,
/etc/init.d/rsyslog or some other logic but not the systemd specific
systemctl command.

-- Package-specific info:

Monit config file /etc/monit/monitrc is *NOT* readable by reportbug.
Please, consider to rerun reportbug as root and *carefully* examine
reportbug's output (e.g., monitrc content), before sending it out.
