if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/nginx ];then . /etc/sysconfig/nginx fi

RETVAL=0 prog="nginx"

start() { # Check that networking is up. [ "$NETWORKING" = "no" ] && exit 1

echo -n $"Starting $prog: " daemon /applications/nginx/sbin/nginx $OPTIONS RETVAL=$? echo [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/nginx return $RETVAL }

stop() { echo -n $"Shutting down $prog: " killproc /applications/nginx/sbin/nginx RETVAL=$? echo [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/nginx return $RETVAL }
