When newsyslog rotates logfiles, it signals syslogd to re-open the
logfile. This is done by sending a SIGHUP signal to the pid recorded
in /var/run/syslogd.pid.

The syslog-ng package will uses the filename '/var/run/syslog-ng.pid'.
When you configure newsyslog to use that file, it should also handle
syslog-ng.
