[syslog-ng]Re:restarting syslog-ng

[jmad]

I saw the e-mail below and have a question:

I'm currently using Caldera's Linux to host my syslog-ng.  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
