Hey Guys, thanks for the replies!

No I haven't tried that... But I think your right... Check this out:
Code:
nagios:/proc/2975/fd # ll
total 0
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Sep 25 16:44 0 -> /dev/null
l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Sep 25 16:44 1 -> /dev/null
l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Sep 25 16:44 10 -> /var/log/mail.info
l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Sep 25 16:44 11 -> /var/log/messages
l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Sep 25 16:44 2 -> /dev/null
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Sep 25 16:44 3 -> socket:[131564428]
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Sep 25 16:44 4 -> socket:[131564430]
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Sep 25 16:44 5 -> /dev/xconsole
l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Sep 25 16:44 6 -> /var/log/remote.syslog.log_20140925 (deleted)
l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Sep 25 16:44 7 -> /var/log/mail
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Sep 25 16:44 8 -> /dev/tty10
l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Sep 25 16:44 9 -> /var/log/warn

So would I run something like:
Code:
# service syslog-ng restart

Also, what does the "-hup" part of the kill command do?

Thanks again for the replies, much appreciated!

Thanks,
Matt

rpm2cpio

rpm2cpio(1)							   User Commands						       rpm2cpio(1)

NAME

       rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive

SYNOPSIS

       rpm2cpio [file.rpm]

DESCRIPTION

       The  rpm2cpio  utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu-
       ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard  out-
       put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Converting an rpm file

       example% rpm2cpio Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
       CPIO archive found!
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root    2635 Sep 13 16:39 1998, 3dfx.gif
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root   11339 Sep 27 16:03 1998, Dev3Dfx.tar.gz
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root    1387 Sep 27 16:04 1998, Device3Dfx-1.1-2.spec
       31 blocks

       Example 2: Converting from standard input

       example% rpm2cpio < Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
       CPIO archive found!
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root    2635 Sep 13 16:39 1998, 3dfx.gif
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root   11339 Sep 27 16:03 1998, Dev3Dfx.tar.gz
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root    1387 Sep 27 16:04 1998, Device3Dfx-1.1-2.spec
       31 blocks
