Hi,

I want delete files at /var/log.

How to restart syslogd after deleting?

Thanks

This might work: /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart

Thanks

Although most of my colleagues would disagree with me,l
I would do a ps -ef or ps -aux depending on what system I was on.

Then I would get the process id of the process, and do
kill -HUP proccess_id

This should do it...

killall -HUP syslogd

is graceful and elegant in my opinion

you can also find the pid as Walter says.

The syslogd pid is stored in a file which I cant recall now. You can also cat its contents and then send a signal
