Thanks David! I noticed I actually killed it but I got running again with a new pid. I tried to strace the kill and it did it successfully. I saw the ps tree it depends on init.
I tried to stop it with /etc/init.d/rsyslog that calls: start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --retry=TERM/30/KILL/15 --pidfile $PIDFILE --name $NAME but it did not work. Your solution works perfectly! Thanks.
