: I see lot of people KILLHUP'ing daemons this way, but I prefer "killall 
: -HUP syslogd".  Is there any reason why this should not be the preferred 
: method for HUP'ing daemons?

If you work with any other flavour of unix this could be a very bad habit 
to get into at home.

Most unixen use killall to kill ALL processes apart from system processes.

I made that particular mistake *once* at work on a several hundred user 
machine and then promply removed that binary from my linux system :-)
