It seems to me that a more useful (and generic) solution to this would
be to create a rules-engine for specifying what messages get sent
through the syslog output (and if sent, optionally prefixed).

The internal journal message containing these start/stop notifications
have a number of useful structuring elements that would make it easy
to filter on, if such a rules engine was devised.
