Our logrotate script is universal. He support sysklogd, syslog-ng and rsyslog.
For sysklogd and syslog-ng (and old rsyslog) was enough send -HUP
signal after logrotate.

in man rsyslog-v5:
HUPing  rsyslogd is an extremely expensive operation and should only
be done when
actually necessary. Actually, it is a rsyslgod stop immediately
followed by a restart. Future ver‐
sions  will  remove this restart functionality of HUP (it will go away
in v5). So it is advised to
use HUP only for closing files, and a "real restart" (e.g.
/etc/rc.d/rsyslogd restart) to activate
configuration changes.
