  $ man 8 upslog

  LOG ROTATION
         upslog writes its pid to upslog.pid, and will reopen the  log file  if
         you  send  it a SIGHUP.  This allows it to keep running when the log is
         rotated by an external program.  
  [...]
  
  # cat /var/db/nut/upslog.pid
  9915
  # ps p 9915
   PID TT STAT    TIME COMMAND
  9915 ?? Ss   0:00.01 /usr/pkg/bin/upslog -s mge1100@localhost -l /var/log/ups 
  # kill -HUP 9915
  # cat /var/db/nut/upslog.pid

  behaviour != documentation.
