What OS are you using? In openSUSE 12.2, you have /var/run/rsyslogd.pid
to watch.

You might add something like "-i /var/run/rsyslogd.pid" to the
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS variable set in /etc/sysconfig/rsyslog if it is not
already there.

Following the man page (man 8 rsyslogd), the -i option for rsyslogd
means "Specify an alternative pid file instead of the default one.  This
option must be used if multiple instances of rsyslogd should run on a
single machine."
