The standard Unix "HUP" (hang-up) signal. Most daemons will reload
their configs and do other appropriate things if they get such a
signal. I suggest you do "pkill -1 syslog-ng" as root and see if stuck
logs come out. That's equivalent to what logrotate does after rolling
your logs each week, to tell syslog-ng that it changed the files
around.
