You might want to read about the "System Resource Controller" or SRC, for short. It is sort of a super-daemon to start other daemons (called "subservers" or "subsystems", without wanting to go into details). Here is a (very short and incomplete)

Introduction to System Resource Controller (SRC) Commands

How these subsystems are started is defined with the command mkssys and stored in a "registry"-like data storage called ODM. You can change an already defined subsystem with the command chssys and remove a subsystem with the command rmssys. Display a subsystems properties with the command lssrc -ls <subsystem>.

Starting such a subsystem is done with startsrc, stopping with stopsrc and displayed what is running with lssrc -a. refresh reinitialises an already started subsystem if it supports signal communication (basically this sends a kill -1), but some subsystems won't allow that, which is why you have to do a stopsrc and then a startsrc in such a case.

I hope this helps.

SYSLOG(8)                                                         System Logging                                                         SYSLOG(8)

NAME

       syslog-ng, syslogd

DESCRIPTION

       There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd

       The  first  installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
       But this depends on the software selection during the installation.

       The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
       SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

       The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.

       The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
