Just a question:
We figured that out for ourselves... :)
Can syslog-ng reload its configuration file (changed) without being restarted? I couldn't find anything related in the documentation.
You didn't see the man page? Admittedly it says it isn't up to date, but it does answer the question in the second paragraph of DESCRIPTION. Sending syslog-ng the HUP signal does not restart it (so it will have the same PID as it did before the HUP sinal was received) but it does cause it to re-read its configuration file, and also to close and then reopen any log files. If the new configuration is OK, it will use it. If it isn't, it will carry on using the old one. -- 73, Ged.
