would be very happy to look into problems that the module may have.


I know that a restart of rsyslog will kill the program specified,


it doesn't actively kill it, but the program will receive end-of-file on
it's input.


will a HUP kill and restart the program?


no

It is slightly off-topic, but since SEC was mentioned in this thread, then the current version will actually not terminate on EOF on pipe. It will terminate either on TERM from parent, or with a help of a special rule that would call exit(0) on no input. Since this is not very convenient for connecting SEC to rsyslog via memory-based pipe, the new version of SEC (currently ready and under testing) will have better support for receiving input over a pipe from rsyslog.
kind regards,

Will rsyslog detect if the program exits and restart it?


yes
