I have a Java web application which, once in a while for reasons I am trying to determine, sometimes becomes unresponsive. I want to give users a simple way of restarting it, via the web, so as I've used ngix a lot in the past, my first thoughts turned to having nginx running on another port, with a URL available which causes a shell script to be run. What would be the easiest, most lightweight, way to do this? Or is there some other way of effecting what I want which I haven't thought of yet?

Well you always have the option of using good ol' CGI. Use a small server like thttpd with nginx serving as reverse proxy for that or a FastCGI wrapper like fcgiwrap and execute the shell command in the CGI script.

Perhaps there's a smarter way, don't know how it compares to agentzh's Nginx embedded Lua module suggestion. You have to try it out.
