Nginx start, stop and other commands

Start, stop and other commands of Nginx under Windows

To use Nginx under Windows, we need to master some basic operation commands, such as: starting and stopping Nginx services, reloading Nginx, etc. I will give some brief introductions below.
1. Start:

C:\server\nginx-1.0.2>start nginx

or

C:\server\nginx-1.0.2>nginx.exe

Note: It is recommended to use the first one, and the second one will keep your cmd window in execution and cannot perform other command operations.

2. Stop:

C:\server\nginx-1.0.2>nginx.exe -s stop

or

C:\server\nginx-1.0.2>nginx.exe -s quit

Note: stop is to quickly stop nginx and may not save relevant information; quit is to stop nginx in a complete and orderly manner and save relevant information.

3. Reload Nginx:

C:\server\nginx-1.0.2>nginx.exe -s reload

Use this command when configuration information is modified and these configurations need to be reloaded.

4. Reopen the log file:

C:\server\nginx-1.0.2>nginx.exe -s reopen

5. Check the Nginx version:

C:\server\nginx-1.0.2>nginx -v
