What I need from newsyslog badly is a new newsyslog.conf field
with pid file name. If such field present, newsyslog must read
pid from specified file and do 'kill -1 pid' to inform process
to close current logfile and open new one. It is needed because
some essential daemons as Apache don't use syslog() call, but
use their own log routines. They need HUP to start with new logs.
Can you implement it, please?
