[syslog-ng] program destination

Hello,

we are using syslog-ng version 3.1.3 (open source edition) on a debian  
6 system. Currently we switched from version 2 to version 3 and we  
noticed the following change:

we are using sec.pl as a program destination to correlate and filter our logs.
on version 2 syslog-ng was sending a term signal in case of a stop or  
restart to programs/scripts invoked via program destination. on  
version 3 the programs didnt receive the signals and still keep  
running. in the admin / reference guide I see some options for the  
program destination, but none for signal handling.

Is this the intended behaviour of syslog-ng v3? How can I tell  
syslog-ng v3 to send signals to programs which are started by syslog-ng?


many thanks in advance,

Tom
