SYSLOG-NG(8) :


       The  configuration  file  is  read  at startup and is reread after receipt of a hangup (HUP) signal.  When
       reloading the configuration file, all destination files are closed and reopened as appropriate.  For  more
       information about the configuration file, see syslog-ng.conf(5).

however:


20:52:33 root[pts/4]@ravenous /etc# lsof -c syslog-ng|grep /var/log
syslog-ng 2865 root    6w   REG        3,2 1182406     394881 /var/log/archive/messages-20080310 (deleted)

20:53:02 root[pts/4]@ravenous /etc# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog-ng.pid `
20:53:03 root[pts/4]@ravenous /etc# lsof -c syslog-ng|grep /var/log
syslog-ng 2865 root    6w   REG        3,2 1182620     394881 /var/log/archive/messages-20080310 (deleted)

i have always hated when logrotate process makes syslogging to deleted files ;(
