Sounds slightly beyond the mandate of newsyslog(8). Although instead
of a path-to-PID, a glob to pass to pkill(8) -HUP ${glob} would be on my
NFR list.
At that point, logrotate(8) may seem appealing (or a custom solution):
postrotate/endscript
The lines between postrotate and endscript (both of which must
appear on lines by themselves) are executed after the log file
is rotated. These directives may only appear inside of a log
file definition. See prerotate as well.
For all your non-posix-signal-honoring-daemons out there.
