[[email protected] ~]# nginx -s reload
nginx: [error] invalid PID number "" in "/data/nginx/logs/nginx.pid"
[[email protected] ~]# ps aux | grep "nginx: master" | grep -v pts | awk '{print $2;}'

[[email protected] ~]# ps aux | grep "nginx: master" | grep -v pts | awk '{print $2;}' > /data/nginx/logs/nginx.pid
[[email protected] ~]# nginx -s reload
[[email protected] ~]#

[[email protected] ~]# killall nginx
[[email protected] ~]# nginx
