3b5d4b35bd Reworded, because it previously made it sound like it only sent a 
signal if path_to_pid_file field is present.

Also mention that /var/run/syslogd.pid is used as the default
path_to_pid_file.

This was brought up on netbsd-help and Richard Braun suggested
this should be documented.

Reviewed by grant and wiz.

279552d3db fix up various .Nm abuses: 
- keep the case consistent between the actual name and what's referenced.
  e.g, if it's `foo', don't use '.Nm Foo' at the start of a sentence.
- remove unnecessary `.Nm foo' after the first occurrence (except for
  using `.Nm ""' if there's stuff following, or for the 2nd and so on
  occurrences in a SYNOPSIS
- use Sx, Ic, Li, Em, Sq, and Xr as appropriate

677a105692 More work on newsyslog(8): 
- Add some comments. It might be getting a little unclear what's going on.
- Make it useful as non-root.

Also, some new features taken from FreeBSD. The last two are not well
tested yet:

- Specifing log files on the command line limits operation to those files.
- Add cyclic time specification for periodic trimming.
- Add restricted ISO-8601 time specification for periodic trimming.

e55de4b4cf Overhaul newsyslog(8). Changes: 
- Code cleanup.
- Better flowing English in manpage (in places).
- `-n' option has been removed (was mainly a debugging convenience, I think).

1fa77b6d55 Use: 
.Sh SEE ALSO
rather than:
	.Sh "SEE ALSO"
The former is the correct form, and it makes a (barely persceptible)
difference in formatting for some output devices (e.g. 'ps').
