Nginx + Passenger + Ubuntu init script
Here is the init script for Nginx while we are going to use with Phusion Passenger on ubuntu. I have used it on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Create a file "/etc/init.d/nignx" and add below code into it.
vim /etc/init.d/nignx
Then add nginx into update-rc.d for start nginx whenever system boot,
update-rc.d nginx defaults
Make that file executable by changing permission,
chmod +x /etc/init.d/nignx
Now, start Nginx
/etc/init.d/nginx start
