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 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
