"make install" will replace the binary. It won't run the new binary.
After replacing the binary, you'll want to do something like
kill -USR2 $(cat logs/nginx.pid)
And after testing that things are working as expected, then
kill -WINCH $(cat logs/nginx.pid.oldbin)
followed eventually by
kill -QUIT $(cat logs/nginx.pid.oldbin)
The "control.html" page has more details about how to handle problems.
"service nginx restart" probably doesn't do that sequence, and so probably
won't be 0-downtime. But you can use your test system to find a sequence
that works well enough for you.
