I have a bunch of lines like this in
/etc/rsyslog.d/systemd-drivel.conf:

:msg, contains, "Activating via systemd" ~
:msg, contains, "Activation via systemd failed" ~

Every time I boot, rsyslogd complains about
the deprecated syntax:

Aug  9 18:39:21 zooty rsyslogd-2307: warning: ~ action is deprecated, consider 
using the 'stop' statement instead [v8.8.0 try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2307 ]

Yet no google-fu seems to be powerful enough
to find an example of "using the 'stop' statement"

Can anyone tell me *exactly* what to put in a file
in /etc/rsyslog.d to use this mythical, yet
uttery, utterly, undocumented "stop" statement?

Absolutely none of the links from the URL in the
message have any descriptions of how to use the
new and improved syntax.

The man page for rsyslogd still documents the
deprecated stuff and doesn't say anything at all
about any new syntax.

This appears to be a classic example of open
source project obfuscation by "improvement" :-)
