How to restart nginx on OS X

Question

I\'m using nginx on OS X 10.8. Freshly installed nginx but can\'t find a way to restart nginx except kill nginx_pid say kill 64116

Answer 1

Try this:

sudo nginx -s stop

followed by a:

sudo nginx

It seems that nginx keeps track of its state, to if you stop it twice, it will complain. But the above worked for me.
