WebApr 11, 2012 · 7 Answers. Sorted by: 294. Run service nginx reload, /etc/init.d/nginx reload or /usr/sbin/nginx reload. It will do a hot reload of the configuration without downtime. If you have pending requests, then there will be lingering nginx processes that will handle those connections before it dies, so it's an extremely graceful way to reload configs.
