IF my grsec kernel can't be hacked (or nobody did it, which is also credible) 
to stop a process, then restart it with the same pid (can process choose its 
pid in any way?);
AND IF nobody hacked my logfiles (which is indeed uneasy to do);
THEN considering, that pid of syslong-ng hasn't changed ever since it was 
started with it (according to logfile), but the exit 0 messages has occured 
several times since that --
I can confirm it.

Or what, crazy world and aliens live in my server?!
