Send SIGHUP to syslogd and suricata after restoring backup. This ensures that if the restored backup includes log files that any new log messages get appended to the restored log files. Otherwise they will be written to the old log files which are pending deletion.
httpd is told to restart using apachectl, which is the equivalent of sending a signal. 'graceful' (USR1) is used rather than 'restart' (HUP) because the latter immediately kills the process restoring the backup, preventing converters from running.
