You may see it mentioned as SIGHUP (same thing). Take a look at man 7 signal. It covers them all. Also, does syslog-ng re-create files if you remove them and send it a SIGHUP?

I currently use a cron script similar to below to stop, rotate my logs and restart the service (obviously not ideal, there's a brief moment where I lose messages). When I look at the man page for kill I do not see a -HUP switch. Does anyone know if this is just an undocumented option, or is it not available? If not, any ideas on what I can do to fix this? Thanks for any help you can provide, JonM Balazs Scheidler wrote:
I'm trying to set up syslog-ng to rotate it's logs with logrotate. One question this brings to mind is whether syslog-ng will restart with the HUP signal.
#/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog-ng.pid`
yes.

Yes, as soon as the first message is to be written. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
