Hi.

I've installed nginx 1.4.4 from the repository at http://nginx.org/packages/centos/ for Centos 6.4

The reload command in the init.d script that comes with that sends the HUP signal to Nginx which then attempts to reload the config. However if there is an error in the config file:
i) The error is just sent to the error log file.
ii) The init.d script says 'OK' when Nginx hasn't reloaded the config.


Would it be possible to change the init.d script in the package to call nginx -s reload directly - so that any errors are reported by the init.d script and in the users console. i.e. like:

reload() {
echo -n $"Reloading $prog: "
${nginx} -s reload
RETVAL=$?

if [ $RETVAL == 0 ]
then
success
else
failure
fi
}


If this question is inappropriate for this forum - apologies, please could you tell me where it would be more appropriate to ask.

cheers
Dan
