Cool "OLD" Way to Restart RSyslog - Fedora 11

#kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid`

Its the same as

#service rsyslog restart

But in a different way

There are another signals, each one can be represented by a number, here is a small list of signals available:

• HUP = 1

• KILL = 9

• TERM = 15

I realized that it did not change the PID of the process and I got an interesting comment about that saying that rsyslog v5 does not support HUP anymore.
