Hi Team,
root user is must for NGinx restart?
Everytime of restart, prompts for root user than other users. PID's are not getting killed...for the running process with project users.

I tried solution of adding entry to Sudoers file with an path of executable script. No luck. Following are the changes made

/ectc/sudoers
%gvp ALL=NOPASSWD: /var/gvp/Nginx/bin/restartNginx #To get rid of Nginx restart with root user and to attain with gvp user

/var/gvp/Nginx/bin/restartNginx
#! /bin/bash
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/gvp/Nginx/nginx-1.8.0/logs/nginx.pid`

Please review, if above instructions are correct.

And, suggest how project users can be used to restart NGinx...to avoid manual intervention and dependency of root user always.


Regards,
Maddy
