Hi,

Yep. It means it simply re-reads the configuration instead of killing it and starting it again.

You should have seen a message "Syslogd: restart" after you did it.

Well, you may want to try again. Make sure the PID is infact the pid of syslogd.

You would see that "syslogd: restart" message in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log and not in the terminal.

# kill -HUP

# tail /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
