If you were running this command as "root", would that prompt say
"root@neb" and end with a # ?

That might relate to permissions on /, /var, or /var/run, instead of
on /var/run/nginx.pid.

But still: from what you've shown, there is no indication that user
"rich" has the necessary permissions.

Good luck with it,
