sudo killall -HUP syslogd is simpler. launchctl won't work on modern MacOS:

<Error>: Caller not allowed to perform action: launchctl.87066, action = service bootout, code = 150: Operation not permitted while System Integrity Protection is engaged, uid = 0, euid = 0, gid = 0, egid = 0, asid = 100005
