But that's good to know. I assume you could use that for most daemons that are running?
Absolutely. Whenever you want to delete a file which might be written to by a running process instead of "rm file" use
Code:
cat /dev/null > /path/to/file
which will shorten it to 0 bytes length but retain the inode. The result is the same file with its contents removed instead of a new file with the same name as the old one.
If a program honors a signal depends on how it was written. "Well-behaving" programs (that is: ones which are written like Unix programs are meant to be written) do so, but not every programmer adheres to some informal standard. You will have to find out for every specific program yourself if it is the case or not.

Paranoid::Log::Syslog(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Paranoid::Log::Syslog(3pm)NAME
Paranoid::Log::Syslog - Log Facility Syslog
VERSION
$Id: Syslog.pm,v 0.83 2010/06/03 19:04:07 acorliss Exp $
SYNOPSIS
use Paranoid::Log;
enableFacility('local3', 'syslog', 'debug', '+');
enableFacility('local3', 'syslog', 'debug', '+', 'my-daemon');
DESCRIPTION
This module implements UNIX syslog support for logging purposes. Which should seem natural given that the entire Paranoid::Log API is
modeled closely after it.
SUBROUTINES /METHODS
NOTE: Given that this module is not intended to be used directly nothing is exported.
init
log
remove
dump
DEPENDENCIES
o Paranoid::Debug
o Unix::Syslog
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
Because we're keeping a connection to the syslogger open we don't support enabling multiple facilities that log as different idents, etc.
The first syslog facility that gets activated will set those parameters.
