How can I change Nagios/NRPE log location?

[R. Leigh Hennig]

I've made the configuration change - now I'm guessing I need to restart NRPE
daemon to read in the changed  config file. How do I restart NRPE? I want it
to run as a daemon, and I believe that it is...there's an nrpe file in
/etc/xinte.d/...I already restarted xinted after I made the log file change
there...
