That's ok, however due to me running syslogd in debug mode anyway - ctrl 
+ c should do that anyway..... I performed a: ps aux | grep syslog with 
no result other then my 'grepping' displayed.

Meaning that the syslog daemon should have reloaded right? - I mean it's 
standard for everything else which works in that way!
