That should do it, AFAIK a process cannot give back memory already allocated to the system.
I would be more than interested to know more about a different technique that doesn't involve a fork system call.

Theoretically if that’s a problem you could instead of a reload send USR2 and QUIT to the nginx process (http://nginx.org/en/docs/control.html) which should spawn a new master and the gracefully quit the old one.

Correct me if I'm wrong (actually haven't tested for memory usage).
